First, we have been heavy computer users for decades and we are pretty demanding. We buy all-in-one's so that we get a printer, copier, fax and scanner. Some history:
- We owned a couple of HP's. The hardware is decent but the software is huge, nasty, poorly written bloatware. I vowed never to buy another. It caused problems on every computer we installed it on.
- We switched to Canon. Much cleaner software, but we had some problems with the print heads getting gummed up and having to go through way too much expensive ink to clean them.
Just passing this along for anyone who is shopping.

Thanks. It may be time to think about one for me. Is it wi-fi?
Yes, I wouldn't consider a printer without wireless these days. It also supports printing from iPhones and iPads, which a lot of printers don't.
I am in so much agreement about HP software. I have regretted the purchase of every HP printer I've ever bought--because of their crappy software. I can only conclude that they think the reason I use my PC is to be informed about the ink level in my printer!
My current favorite brand is Brother with an HL-2070N, HL-2170W, HL-5250DN, MFC-J835DW, and MFC-J6510DW. (What?!? You mean that everyone doesn't have a printer in each room?)
