A very good point, Robert. I bought my last HP Tri Colour cartridge printer about 4 years ago, and now only look at ones which have separate colour ink tanks. My wife has a Brother all-in-one, colour printer, copier, fax and scanner, and we have been very happy with it. =20 It's quite valid to say that a multi-function device is risky in the sense of it possibly breaking down, but these days they are infinitely more reliable than say 4 or 5 years ago when they were being introduced. As I travel up around, I am seeing more and more major hotels using all-in-ones on reception. I think that speaks volumes. Accessibility is an issue, and as someone here mentioned a Lexmark, and if that fits the bill, then go for it.
