Hey guys!

I need to buy a new printer, and I was wonder what ya'll thought of my selections, or if ya'll had any reccomendations. These are my requirments.

-No More than $100
-Not Epson (I really have had issues with Epson)
-Small... this is for my college desk, the smaller the better.
-I'd prefer it be color (ie, inkjet), but if there is a phenominal, small, fast laserjet, I'll look at it.
-Native USB

This is what I'm looking at:
HP Deskjet 6520:

Dell Laserjet 1100

Canon Pixma ip3000

I'm leaning towards the Canon printer... what do ya'll think?
 
Um... okay, but this is a b/w laser. I personally stay away from inkjets because of the drying out of the cartridges and the high cost of replacing them. It's cheaper to buy a new printer and use the freebies than to buy just the cartridges sometimes. Strikes me as a little ridiculous, but so do many things.

 
i have a canon iP1600 and its great. it prints really fast compared to other inkjet printers. I will never buy anything from HP, thier software is nothing but problems for me. just my .02 cents

That looks pretty nice... and it fits my size desires... I haven't had problems with hp software, but I have with epson...

I decided that while I'd love the effciency of a laserjet, I'll be doing too much printing that requires color charts/images.

I'm not going to order until this evening, so anyone else have any comments?

I posted a review about that exact printer above. I have the same printer and it works just fine.
 
From personal experiance the HP PSC 1315 really is a nice printer. I convinced my mother to pick up one.

I'd like to know what problems you had with Epson though, my R200 hasn't given me a single problem but all I use are the drivers and the Print CD software, I never use anything else packaged with a printer.(Printer software = print what I want damn it not build a photo library, organize my wallpapers, get my mail and randomly spit out printed spam)
