I must say, my printer experience is much like my experience with cable companies. Everybody else has nothing but bad things to say about them but my experiences have always been pretty good.

I think we are basically at the point where printers are almost disposable. You buy the cheap-o printer and then just buy a new one when the ink runs out. Just a thought.

For a minute, I thought I was going to have to have a long talk with the OP (based on the thread title), but then I realized that he was talking about a desktop printer and not print professionals (such as I am).

In the home context, I agree. From an IT support perspective however, printers can go suck it.

I agree with that statement 100%!

I work in IT, printers are a royal PITA! Though to be fair, a good chunk of the reason they suck is because lusers don't know how to treat/use them properly.

Of course it's also not the cheapest bargain basement model (for once!), and I can't argue with the ink b.s., but for once I'm totally happy with the operation of a printer.
Just wait until the 91st day when it's no longer covered, and see who's laughing! ;)

I switched to a Brother all-in-one. Other than being pretty complicated, it works ok. But, it won't print pictures on regular copy paper worth a darn.

Ok, I second the awesomeness of the Oatmeal!
