Hmmm. My trusty HP 3820 just made a bang and dropped a bunch of broken gears on the floor.

Replacement recommendations? Not too worried about speed, but quality would be good. Memory card slots would be a bonus.

Cheers.

Inkjet. Just a fairly cheap, but good print quality unit for printing a few digi pics and my kids homework. You know the kind of stuff.

I have a HP PSC 1350--pretty good quality printing and does the whole memory card slot thing and makes copies and scans of documents.  I think it's really nice...better than the lexmark printer we have.

It uses a buttload amount of software and drivers though.  It's also a little on the slow side, but it's not like I'm waiting forever to pick up documents (mostly because I let them sit there for half a day before I bother to get them).

Rob, the following HPs are my top sellers: HP 6540 - just your basic printer, nothing fancy, but good quality prints ~130USD. HP6840 - doesn't have card slots, but has a USB port in the front, and could be connected to a wireless network ~180.

So next time you're in my neck of the woods, I'll cut you a deal ;)
