All-in-one colour printer?

[Ronco]

I'm looking for recommendations on a nice all-in-one colour printer / copier / scanner which does:

~ Duplex printing
~ Good flatbed scanning
~ Has a network interface
~ Doesn't have an insane thirst for ink
~ Has memory card slots (SD / MSPro / CF as a minimum)
~ Borderless A4 printing
~ Decently quick and bleed-free black & white printing

Don't need a document feeder, don't need colour display as I would rarely print an uncorrected picture directly from the card/camera, and don't need fax. Would appreciate pointers and your experiences. Thanks

I am a bit familiar with HP's line of all-in-ones, I think they have intergrated all-in-one capabilities into many of the series, The Officejet series has the all-in-one models that all the bells and whistles, and can do everything, including wireless networking (very nice btw) but usually are the higher priced, the Photosmart, PSC and Laserjet series have a lot of the capabilites but are ususally missing a thing or two, such as lack of an LCD, or no ethernet networking, no memory card/limited memory card support, no duplex/manual duplex optional. Basically the best way to guarantee you get everything you want is to look at the Officejet series, ink efficiency isn't the greatest but it isn't the worst either, they also have a tendancy of drying faster/or having issues than other brands if you dont constantly use or store properly opened/unopened ink, but it is easy to find and get a good price on HP/generic HP ink or refill kits than other brands.HP printers can be awesome perfomers but their top performers are usually their most expensive.

Have you check out the Epson Rx510, i have one of these baby and its awesome, the only thing is that it don't have the network interface you wanted.

Ought to say the "wants" are in order of priority. Duplex printing is an absolute must. One of my options is a duplexed Officejet 7210, but reviews seem to be distinctly lukewam... and as I said, I don't need a fax. I'm also sanguine about the massive drivers the HP AIO's have a tendency to come with. None of the Epsons seem to be (unless I'm mistaken) duplex capable.
