I own a Lexmark Z42. My mother uses a HP 722C. The Lexmark is a rather cheap printer and I don't get all the quality I'd like, while the HP printer is just flat out a pain in the ass to use. It has trouble taking in paper and envelopes, and often just stops for no reason.

Because I realized I have several things I wanna scan, and our photocopier is a big mean bulky machine that weights a ton, I figured an all-in-one printer was in order. Printer, color photocopier and scanner all in one. Here's what I have looked at:
