Given your particular loading requirements I think that knocks out the Epson inkjet printers as they all tend to load from the top and then go down. The HP inkjet printers by contrast will load from the front and post the job to the front. I have not had particular problems with that mechanism other than very occasionally. I've got an HP inkjet and frankly it hasn't been a happy partnership from almost day one but I may have been unlucky with it. I have found though that I hardly ever needed colour except for photos and you can get small dedicated printers that probably do as good if not better job than a cheap office printer. On this basis, looking for a replacement document printer myself. Personally I like the look of those cheap Brother laser printers which are cheaper per page to run for documents than inkjets. Personally I will probably go mid range somewhere about £120 mark for speed and network connectivity which is mainly what I require when I do need printing, the network will be so I can wireless enable the unit as I already have an adaptor for that. Just a thought. Regards.
