Not true at all. <br><br>I have a brother scanner-printer-fax, and when the ink runs out, you can not send faxes. They manufacturers sell the printer for next to nothing, then get you by forcing you to change the ink every 3 months at ridiculous prices. Every color that dries up bricks the machine FOR EVERY FUNCTION. Instead of starting, it gives an error message and quits.<br>

</div>Thank you and 4 others who suggested specific models. As I wrote, I didn't<br>
look at multifunction printers because I don't print much and the ink dries<br>
out. But, since three of the replies did refer to multifuntion devices, I have<br>
another question. What happens when the ink dries or clogs? Can I still use<br>
these devices to scan? The reason I ask is that after looking at prices, I<br>
realize that a multi-function is CHEAPER than a stand alone scanner. But, it<br>
would be useless to me if I have to keep feeding it expensive ink just to be<br>
able to scan.<br>
