any suggestions?

It has to be an epson simply because they have the best warranty in the industry. For a year they will fedex a replacement and pick up the old one at their expense. I call that standing behind your product.

If you're looking for top-of-the-line and want to spend some money, look at the color stylus 1400. It uses 5 colors plus black and prints to 19 x 13.

This is what I consider the best deal right now for a scanner/copier/printer/fax with auto document feeder
Workforce 500 direct from Epson $70 plus free shipping with code FREESHIP5

You can now get 11 free cartridges every month for Epsons which each hold about triple the ink of Epson cartridges. This does not involve joining a club or mail-in rebates or committing to any other offer. You just buy the 11 cartridges for $30 and turn in your empties for a credit of the full purchase price. I've done it four times already. Here are the details: http://www.ccs-digital.com/freeink.asp
