Hi Joe, I currently use a Brother MFC 685C, a multi-function printer, copier, scanner, fax and PC fax, among other things, and find it works well with Kurzweill, Open Book, and many other software packages I've tried it with, in particular Microsoft's Document Scanner.
The thing I like about this printer is that it's not only a stand alone fax machine, with a telephone handset, digital answering machine and stuff, but it's got a large display, so it's great for high partials, and, it's both a flatbed scanner, and a sheet feeder scanner, so you can use it as both. I'm afraid that setting up various functions on it, such as the answering machine, time and date, and various settings on it will require some sight, as all of it is set through the large display, but other than that, it's great once it is set up. I've also found that Jaws does work well with the printer's control software, however, if using the Jaws cursor, it does read you any warnings of impending ink changes and the like, and paper jams, or out of paper errors, things like that. It's a four colour printer, black, magenta, cyan and I forget the fourth colour, it is a wireless printer, meaning you don't have to use any USB cables or network cables to print on it, although the printer is network ready, meaning you can hook it up to a router and all computers on the router will see the printer, providing you install the printer control software on all of the computers, and has a USB and card reader built into it so you can print photographs and images directly from a USB stick, SD card, or your camera, assuming you've got pic pro, or some such software like that. Oh yes, it's called pic bridge on your camera. In any case, the LCD screen lets you edit and view the pictures on the media and camera, and you decide which you want to print and which you don't, or want to discard. It really is a good printer for it's price, at only 150 dollars up here in Canada. I'm assuming the price is comparable there in the U.S. Anyway, hope this helps.
