Have we ever had a thread for reviews\recommendations of printers\scanners?  I know my brother scanner, while amazing for documents with the feeder, sucks unbelievable amounts of balls as a flatbed scanner.  It's got about one inch on all sides of the glass it can't scan.  So to compensate, I used some plywood stripts I cut with a straight, square edge on them.  Use them to line up an object, and boom, crooked scan.  Scan same item again, and it's at a different angle.  And scan quality was kind of questionable anyways.

All Canon printer/scanners seem to do good job at scanning boxes.

Mine is cheapest one I could find: MP190, it was 40 or 50 Euros new.

I have an HP Envy 4502 from Wal Mart.  The print quality is actually pretty good for the covers, but I go through ink like CRAZY.

I used to print covers at my old job.  They had a large HP printer.  I have no idea what model it was, but the quality for covers was fantastic.  I have a huge collection that looks perfect now. 

So I'm looking to buy a new printer.  Last one I had was a Cannon, but now thinking HP.  Anyone have any recommendations?

I have an HP 3050, it was like $40 at Target a couple years ago so I don't even know if they still sell it. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the print quality and the ink is fairly inexpensive compared to the last printer I had (Lexmark). If you are looking to scan covers it's pretty mediocre. Canons seem to be best for that.
