Okay, I'm about to make a printer decision... any advice for me?

8. HorsePiss is not a choice I would recommend.

I had so much trouble, that I eventually bought a machine for more robust than I needed. Xerox Phaser served me well for 8 years before it coughed, apologized, and left this flat earth for Printer Heaven.

I have been using (heavily) a Brother MFP 9320 which has more than exceeded my expectations. The envelop handling, the stacked scanning (before I got a dedicated one) and the quality B&W printing was very satisfactory. Color? Not so much. The image was there, but the quality was fair, at best. Good enough for court exhibits, NOT good enough to make artwork.

Something about HP's printers - I have felt (and often read) that HP doesn't play well with Macs. From my experience, I would never return. HP does not put in a lot of R&D for Mac. That whole company is only concerned with Window dressing.

Having played with other models, any of the Xerox line is worth a look. Good quality, workhorse power, and the toners won't kill you. Brothers are also recommended. The best part is that Brother cares about its mac users, and their products interface solidly with Macs.
