I have had good luck with Epson products over the decades. I've been 
using an Epson XP-820 for a few years now and it works quite well as a 
printer/scanner/fax except that I can't print directly to a CD/DVD 
(previous Epson printers allowed me to do this without problem so I'm 
not sure why the XP-820 doesn't). However I can copy the image to a USB 
stick and print directly on the printer so it's not a fatal flaw.
