In looking at possibilities for printers, I must consider, along with

look at these suggestions wit the idea to compile a list of compatible

and
then negotiate with my banker uh after christmastime.

Had to give my two cents in. . .the Epson line is great.  Forget the 
all in ones altogether and grab a Stylus C series by Epson, and look 
for a flatbed scanner.  My scanner is portable; powered by the USB hub 
by Canon.  My entire system, with the exception of my Epson printer, 
fits neatly in the laptop bag when I'm on the go.  What's the system?  
Pismo 500, keyboard light, Canon scanner, Zip drive, CD/RW drive, iPod 
Photo, iSight, Casio digital camera AND even some media if I need it.  
Of course, I'm the geek who puts any software based media I made need 
for a business trip on my watch but that's another story!

Is it sounding like I don't like all in ones?  I don't.  As a freelance 
computer geek who goes to people's homes everyday and helpe people 
decide which computer is best for what I am tired of seeing all-in-ones 
confusing computers.  HP is the worst.  Don't get me wrong, but the 
hardware is very well built, even the Lexmark line is decent.  BUT. . 
.hardware is where it stops.  The software for these machines is in the 
dark ages.  My grandmother has a G4 800 with an HP all-in-one and she 
made me get rid of the thing. . .THREE months after she bought it!  
Now, she's happy with a simple printer by. . .of all brands. . 
.Lexmark.  Hey as long as it works.
