There is another consideration here. It is the running costs of the cartridges. Epson was pretty good and by no means expensive.

Hello Wamug Friends

It looks like my Canon Pixma MX700 MFC is dying - Error message 5200
(printer head overheating). The one thing that has bugged me a lot is
that the scanning function (to pdf) has always been painful.  It
certainly was not simple & easy & it always took a long time to
complete.  Not what I imagine things ought to be like in this day &
age!  If Apple had designed it it would be one button & over before
you even pressed it! Has this been the experience with other users of
this printer?  What other printers can you recommend?  This one only
cost $214.50 + GST, so probably not worth fixing in our throw away
society :(

Cheers,  Alex

Hi Alex

I personally find Epson units great. I've got a TX810FW myself and it works
extremely well.
I've also supplied and set up Epson's for lots of clients as well.
They just work. The scanning is good. All works wirelessly. (in most
models).
I know a few others on the list use them as well.

But yes, if I have to recommend a printer to someone,..Epson is my first
choice :)

Hope that helps.
Kind Regards
Daniel
