Hi,
I'm looking for a new multifunction printer to replace my dead Canon C530
that just quit on me. There were things about that printer that I really
hated, ink cartridges TOO SMALL was the biggest problem. I want it mostly
for printing B/W text mostly, but I do print out color photos from my
digital cameras quite often. I'm looking at the Lexmark X6170 as a choice.
I would appreciate any advise you might have regarding recommendations for
a good multifunction printer, Lexmark X6170, or any Lexmark comments good,
or bad.

Thanks,
Snydley
 
Lexmark SUCKS. So does Epson. Hewlette Packard
Is good and reliable, my mother has a nice one which
works well. It will scan and print photos, though it's
best to use a Graphics editor to scan into, fix it up,
then print from there as well. Hers is the 2110 all-in-
one, costs $150.00, very solid. http://www.hp.com/
There is also Canon but I know nothing about their stuff.
And my HP 7150 photosmart printer makes very nice
Photos using 65 year archival inks.

It just 'cause I'm pissed at these companies making
JUNK for the general public, just for a lousy BUCK!

Sorry, Alex
 
Thanks for the advice. I purchased a Canon MP730 multifunction printer
today. It has separate tanks for the colors , and the biggest "beef" I had
with the Canon Multipass C530 was that the colors were all in 1 tank and it
always seemed like it was running out of ink when I really needed to print
from it. It seems that from all of the investigating I did that Canon had
one of the best, if not the best color quality.

Hi,
can you tell me if the Canon MP730 is able to print front-&-reverse
side of the pages automatically (obvisousely without manually turning
the pages) ? If not, is there any multifuction printer doing that ?
From my investigation, i was assuming that this feature was more standard
than what it actually is... well, i was wrong.

Thanks for any info on this,
Afx

The HP Officejet 6110, PSC 2410, PSC 2510, Officejet 7100 series and Officejet
D series have an automatic duplexer either as an option or a standard feature.
There are also various LaserJet based all-in-one units that support duplexing.
See the following for a link to the spec's:
