Canon MultiPass MP390 Multifunction
Our "work horse" printer at home has been an Epson Stylus Color 800. Even after eight years of use, it still works pretty well for most print jobs. But recently it has started to show signs of "banding" when printing photos. So we decided to buy a new printer. We also decided to try an all-in-one design (printer/scanner/copier/fax) so that we could also retire our Umax flatbed scanner.
After some research we settled on the Canon MultiPass MP390 Multifunction. It's a lousy name but an impressive device especially given the price tag — $129 at OfficeMax. We bought the MP390 a few weeks ago and are pretty happy. The print quality is excellent for both text and photos. Ink prices are reasonable. It's nice to be able to scan and copy without using the computer.
The only negative comment I read in reviews was the lack of Macintosh support. But apparently it is possible to use the printer with Mac OS X.
