Start off by giving up on the concept of an all-in-one. They are cheap combinations of each part. You are much better off with a scanner, a color photo printer and a b+w laser printer.
Fundamentally, printers are free, and the brand makes all its money off of the consumables (toner and ink). So look at the prices the way
you should look at an iPhone price. Its not $200, its $2600, for the phone and 24 months of $100 a month service.
My wife's machine (desktop computer) died about six months ago, no problem, we picked up a new one for $400. But neither her scanner nor her printers would work, since
the new computer has Windows 7 and the old one ran XP. There were no drivers for either printer and none for the scanner. All worked perfectly with XP. So we got to buy three items, a new scanner, a new b+w laser and a new photo printer.
We went Canon, because our last ones were HP and we felt screwed by their lack of driver support.
