Is anyone happy with their printer? [View all]

I've had really bad luck with printers since they went the cheap crap route. I want an all-in-one because I don't have room for scanner and printer on my desk.

I hardly print anything anymore... actually I don't print anything since this piece of garbage Canon mp980 quit. its probably out of ink in one of the cartridges because when one gets low it locks up. And the damned thing swills ink like a drunken sailor swills rum. I refuse to buy one more overpriced cartridge for it so now its just sitting on my desk like an oversized grey paper holder and its destined for the landfill. I wouldn't donate this thing to anybody because they couldn't afford to run it. And I won't even discuss the Kodak that I had before and traded in for this piece of junk.

All I'm looking for is something compatible with snow leopard, that will print in black instead of mixing colours to produce black, that won't quit if one colour runs out, that automatically prints duplex, and that doesn't guzzle ink. I don't care if its wireless. I don't even care if it is just black in fact at this point I would prefer it. Who can afford to print out pictures at $6 a pop when you can get them done in Costco for 10 cents.

Do they make anything decent anymore??? I've read reviews for printers on amazon and they all seem to be crap. Made cheap and disposable with lots of bugs and they all waste ink. I looked at b/w laser printers and the problems are the same except the cartridges of toner cost more.

Help!
