Doug,
I'm not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to this stuff...but here goes...

I don't go high end on this stuff but I do like function...

I am now satisfied with a Brother MFC 420CN...it is an all in one machine....maybe you don't want that but it allows me to copy pages from fly fishing[tying] magazines, books, etc....also just copy them or any documents...fax , scan all that stuff....plus photo print...I got it for less than $100...rebate....and there maybe newer models????...it takes up very little room....

It's not the fasted out there....but for my purposes works fine....I don't know right now for my needs and price point if I'd get anything else.

Go to www.epinions.com to try and get info on whatever you are thinking about....
