I refuse to buy any printer that isn't HP, but if I had to make an alternate choice I would jump to the canon ship. They make great products and their printers uphold that.

Nice Knuck.  We have the MP830.  I think you'll love it.

Good to know.  HP would likely be low on my list due to their bloatware.  It is too invasive for my liking.

I agree with you the hp software is insane. I won't install it.

Looked at that one as my second choice.  Think I made a mistake?

This Epson was my third place contender.  But I was worried about quality issues.

Lexmark was out due to a dramatic drop in support and quality for the home and or home office market.

Crap quality. If either of them even has a quality control or inspection department it must be run by parapalegic monkeys

The MP series is pretty solid all around.  I think you'll be fine.  I think they all take the same ink and it is usually the cheapest at wholesale clubs (we get ours at Costco).  I love my MP830 but I don't really know what yours has to offer.  I do know ours was more than twice the cost.

Any future printer I get will have to have wireless network ability.  I just like it too much now.

I must be out of touch. All my emails from td, mwave, etc only feature printers that do

I got it.  I like it.  It blows the Lexmark X6150 I had previously away in every respect.  So far anyway.

Thing prints amazing photographs and damned fast too.
