Hi all.
Does anyone have any recommendations, pro or con, on all-in-one machines, in the $150 or less range ... for home?
I have one that I have had enough of ... an Epson CX5200 ... that is only a couple of years old. I WAS quite happy with it WHEN it worked. I like the scanning part of it, but the printing would mess up if it wasn't used daily, and the ink monitor lied to you about how much ink it still had in the cartridges. I bought a chip resetter that took care of the ink monitor problem, and found that I could tell it that I was replacing the cartridges to force it to recharge the ink, which usually fixed the poor printing. However, this weekend, I could no longer get the printing to work ... still plenty of ink ... but after two hours of recharging, head cleaning, test prints, etc., I finally said I've had enough of it.
I really don't think I will consider another Epson, but depending on the info on the subject, I still might.
