I'm shopping for a new all-in-one inkjet printer for school. My current Lexmark hasn't worked right (don't even have time to go into all the problems it has) since the switch to Vista, and I can't be wasting time on it when school starts.

I picked up a Canon MP620 all-in-one wireless from BestBuy during a Memorial Day sale ($100 down form $150), but I haven't taken it out of the box yet. My only reservation with it is I've seen reviews that say the ink is expensive (but whose isnt?). I've found several places online that sell compatible black ink cartridges (what I'll be using most) for around $7, which wouldn't be bad, assuming these cartridges actually work and give about the same number of pages as Canon's name brand ink.

I've always been frustrated by printer shopping and ownership. I've owned almost every brand at some point and it's always something: low print speed, low print quality, setup issues, software issues, breakdowns, expensive ink, etc. Isn't there just one printer out there that's reasonably fast and good quality (I don't need the best), multifunction, quality craftsmanship (won't break down), well programmed (won't stop working), with reasonably priced ink for around $100? Or am I just asking too much?
