I have a Samsung ML-1710, and I love it. albeit, it's USB, but we are like on our third toner cartridge and have printed out about 23,000 pages (with the toner saver on) and the carts. are only $70/piece. Which is not bad, but considering my mom printes out simple pictures on it, that's fine. We have an Epson CX4200 All-in-One, and after printing like 10 photos, the ink was gone. on a brand new ink set!!! (not the ones that shipped with the printer, these were Epson Retail). On top of that, when we got the printer, it was like $400, and the cartridges cost $40 for each color it uses!! (this includes black too!)

talk about a Piece of crap! The thing can't print that good (it has been known to smear) and it's expensive to run. So we don't even use it for prints. we just use it for scanning. When contacting Epson about how fast the ink went, epson said it was normal. The worst part?? it wasn't even full DPI

We are STILL pissed about that. It cost us like $700 and we printed 10 pictures, and we can't use it!
