Let me caution you on Epson nowadays.
I have two Epsons and I rank them up there with HP's.
However!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is a BIG however.
Epson has made it so no aftermarket cartridges can be used in their
machines. They also set their machines to stop printing when a
cartridge reports (not is, but reports) it is empty.
I have a RX700 which is a sweet printer, but the carts were a one
off, and can only bought after market, or on line, I do not know of
many stores that carry them, but they do last a pretty good
time. But it is no longer marketed.
I have a CX8400 3/1 printer (no ADF/Fax 9400 is the 4/1 model) This
uses the 69 series cartridge and it is a hog on ink. Usually the
color is sold as a three pack, but you can replace them one by one,
but not cheap. (17 each) Black has an XL version (68) but I have not
found it easy to get.
They have a couple of newer lines, that do include wireless (It was
an imperative on last printer purchase) and I am not sure how it
works. But be forewarned they do not always get high marks because
of the cartridge issue, and that fact that it prevents you from
printing if one is reported empty.
Also note HP sells a number of levels of printers. Their photo
printers are made just for that Photos, and get expensive printing
documents all the time. the Office Jet and Pro Office Jet series are
very good printers and do last much longer on ink than normal ink jets.
I would not recommend a Lexmark even to Tom. ( :-) ) they are a
straight ripoff magnet. Brother is OK for some folks (Their Lasers
are not bad) Compaq I have had issues with over the years. Xerox is
OK but they tend to be higher end. (Color and B&W Laser)

they claim 540 pages with their high output black cartridge.
their scanners have always also been one of the best.
