Hi I started that thread last August. A quick recap - I already had a B&W duplexing networked Brother laser printer, and wanted something for occasional duplex colour printing. I went with a Canon Pixma MG5300 multifunction device, and have been very happy with it. I had said I wanted a ha

I just bought both the HP 8600 and the Epson 4530 for local non-profits, and I think I'd give the edge to the Epson. They're both excellent printers, but the Epson has a traditional paper path and a true manual-feed tray, which means it can print directly on envelopes much better than the HP. The
