Hello to the board....

I currently use an HP 672C Deskjet and when it works and cooperates, it does "ok."

But it does have its own dedicated (small) hairdryer which supplies the needed warm air to warm up its insides before I print anything. And of late it wants to lock up and not work until I threaten to inflict mayhem , , , and then it'll work. Plus the crispness of the printing for my classwork/homework/projects/notes just isn't at the geek level I like it to be and I really don't want to $pring for a full-blown color laserjet.

So . . . I have always used HP and have no clue about Canon products.

The Pixma MP600 does have the 3 functions I want, B&W and color printing, scanning and copying. My pc will send faxes so I don't need that function. BUT . . . there are 5 - yikes! - cartridges/tanks. It does have a nice, small footprint though.

C|NET gave it a review of 7.9 with an average user rating of 8.0.

Opinions???? Other choices ??

I do want to replace what I have , , and right now printing that is "crisper" is the main thing with a good scanner running second and if it copies well , then that's just gravy on the biscuit.

Thanks for the input.
