Well for wide format/photos I would have to say the Epson Artisan 1430 is about the best you will get. However, it will kill with ink you if you use it up doing text docs.

For black and white, most any of the current 100$ range or fewer printers is perfect. Doc printing is really simple and easy to do well so any cheap thing is good. you can also get into cheap B/W Laster printers at that range. wich is my goal. the longevity and value for laser text are huge.

.....duh, print?

Sarcasm aside, mostly text docs with some photographs.

What I would really like to find is a wide format (13 in) with good
reviews. Found a couple of HPs but w/ so-so reviews.
