I havnt owned a printer in probably 6-7 years and am fairly out of the loop on who makes good printers anymore...
Out of my experiences HP printers have been utter shit. We bought a $200 e710n-z, the OfficeJet 6500 series like some year ago and the damn thing has a bunch of issues, including, but not limited to:
Can't accurately read ink levels
Sometimes thinks small photo paper is loaded
Software is a pain in the ass to navigate (resistive touch interface.)
Drivers suck

I own an HP. It's constantly failing and disconnecting with some bullshit error and there's no support for it. Every time I want to print something for it I have to go down and restart the damn thing. It's just a horrible device.
Actually successfully printing something is often hit or miss too.

Oh yeah. I know what you mean. Blank page syndrome all day erry day.
Don't forget that it will sometimes feed 2-3 pages at once. Though I'm sure a lot of printers do that.

Sometimes the printer queue fucks up too and you have to restart both the printer and the computer to get it working.
That may be my own computer illiteracy too, in all fairness.
I have an HP Printer/Fax/Copier/Scanner and I've never had any issues. I forgot what model it was though.
I've heard acnons are pretty good
I bought an Epson Stylus CX9400Fax (All-In-One Printer, scanner, copier, fax)

Not a single issue with it, and ink for it is cheap in bulk. :)
I have good experiences with "brother" printers

Brothers are great.
My past with Lexmark Printers is that they like to kill themselves. :/

You'll probably die of old age before this thing ever craps put.

Yep, prettymuch. and it's supported from just about every OS too. Even Windows 98 has drivers for it. :v:

I've owned just about every variation of the laserjet 4 there is (including the original) and they are all broken now beyond reasonable repair. Undeniably great printers though.
Laserjet 6P still going strong however - seems to have the same great build quality of the 4 series.
