+1 for HP.
We now have a 7230 all-in-one with saparate ink cartridges but what I
like most about it is that it's a network printer so it serves all
computers in the house without being dependent on my linus desktop and
I can even send photos to print directly from my mobile (did it once).

Price was also right.
