After much to-and-froing, my own Canon/Epson/HP decision finally got resolved in favour of HP. It's only six-colour (not their latest eight-ink unit), but the biggest difference there would be if I did a lot of black-and-white printing. The single biggest factor was my fear of printheads cloggin

Even the higher end printers like the 2200 are ink monsters, as far as the extra $200 for the epson, that gives you better icc support, pigment inks, better B&W printing ( tho the new hp is damn good here ) more paper choices, roll paper and auto cutting, thats where the extra cash goes, if you don
