Printers

I really need to buy a printer. Quite urgently, actually. Please convey your printer-related advice to me via the poll below:

[Poll #757065]

I am also interested in views on the relative merits of straightforward inkjets, straightforward laser printers and 'all-in-ones' which copy and scan as well as printing. Do comment if you have thoughts on any of them!

I've used both a Canon ip3000 (I think that's the model name) and an Epson Stylus Photo R220 recently, and both are great although I prefer the Canon.

If using it for photos it's worth looking at the relative merits of these printers vs. traditional prints, as there's a bit of a backlash against inkjet photo printers what with ink cost and fading.

I think photos would be a secondary use, so it's not one of the main criteria I'm using. Still interesting to hear, though.
