Just curious, are there any good or bad brands to avoid?  I've tried to stick with HP for scanners/printers since they are usually supported, but not always.  >> Now if someone local wanted to give me something that is like a fancy >> copy machine that prints, scans and maybe even washes dishes, I'd take >> it.
