TweetTheir fax machines do the same damn thing! I have one and it pisses me off because I have it set to only use 'black' for printing and yet it still uses color. I can not get it to stop doing that. So, when one color runs out, it won't print anything. So, I got a copy of WinFax from one of my bros and I don't have to worry about it anymore because the faxes go straight to my pc. As far as printers go, I like Epson. Over the past 5 years, I've used them for appraisal work (which requires a lot of printing) and I'm pleased with them. They will get clogged up if you don't run the cleaning thing on a regular basis. Once one of the colors get's clogged, that's it. That's the one down side with them. However, the upside is great. When my last one would no longer print in blue, they upgraded me to the next higher model for only $50. It was a $150 printer. They sent it to me with a stamped return box for my old one, they sent me all new inks for it and I sent them my unuesed inks and they replaced them with ones for the one for free. I'm looking into the newer version that will print up to 37 ppm in black and 23 ppm in color. It's the fastest Ink Jet on the market right now. Also, if you run out of a color, it will still print, you just won't get that color in the image. And, all the colors are individual cartridges, so you don't have to go buy and whole multi-color cartridge for just one color.
