I have owned three Lexmark All-In-One (AIO) machines and currently have a X8350, yes it is an inkjet. This has had good reviews and I am very happy with it as an "office" machine. Discounts are available and I paid something around $100 at BJs just before Christmas. It has a flat-bed scanner with a multi-sheet feed, used to fax or copy. The display/controls are very intuitive and it has a full color control screen that is very easy to read in poor light. Also, it has a set of memory card input slots, e.g., like what is in digital cameras. I have not tried it on pictures, but it will do them I'm sure, best to get the gloss photo paper and it may be a challenge to do 4x6 inch prints, the most popular in my home. Lexmark is also one of the easiest to refill cartridges, making ink far more economical.

I thought I'd report back for people who are still looking. I ended up getting the Canon Pixma MX850 (after seeing the review at pcmag.com which suggested that there were substantial improvements over the earlier model (they were not directly comparing it to the mx700, but rather a recent MP??? model. Nevertheless, it sounded like this 850 was better than what came before (the details about how skip my mind, but I know in readin it, it seemed worthwhile). I had someone set up the Canon on Friday. It is big (and as Jane said, it's attractive and seems commercial in quality). I LOVE IT. The software is not bulky like HP, and it was easy to connect the printer to my desktop, my daughter's, my husband's laptop and my laptop. I can scan documents and the wonderful lcd display will walk me through simple steps. It asks if I'm scanning from the platen or document feeder, if it should be saved to a pc or faxed or emailed (I believe those were the choices). Then you can choose which computer to receive the scan (that computer must be on to receive it - otherwise I think it could be sent as an email attachment to be loaded on the computer later), and whether it should be saved as a pdf file or jpg. There are other formats for saving it in as well but I haven't tried that yet. There's also a way to optically capture the text and turn it into a text document which I think can be edited (for those without the expensive Acrobat Writer which allows editing of PDF files but costs a few hundred dollars). I know some of the above is very simple and naive, but I've included for folks like myself who have no idea what they were looking for. It easily prints in color or black. It has a duplexer. I'm not sure I'll care that much about printing two-sided documents, but I love the either of feeding 2-sided documents in the ADF (auto document feeder) and being able to copy or scan them without standing there and changing pages. That was a huge factor for me in getting this over the MX700 which doesn't have a duplexer. At first I hadn't considered the convenience of copying and scanning 2-sided documents by loading the sheets in the ADF, pressing a button and walking away. That's convenient. This printer is also remarkably quiet. I was used to loud functioning from my HP PSC 950 and didn't realize printers could be so quiet. I could even carry on a business call without interference. I'm thrilled with this machine (which Dell has for $239 - best price I found). Even my husband who saw no reason for obsessing about this choice is amazed at how much functionality and ease of use is packed into a $240 machine. When he saw what it did, he assumed I'd paid over $500. Lynn.

Witz- you are almost right, except there's nothing listed in control panel for this all-in-one except the photography portion. However, I discovered quite by accident that if I go into a wordfile and click File > Print > Properties, a tab comes up that says Printer Services. And if you click on that, it says "Open HP toolbox" !!!!!!! It gave me exactly what I needed. Except for the knife, gun, or bazooka I'm going to use on my husband for ***not*** telling me he'd put in an ancient cartridge--that would have imediately alerted me to the fact that the red ink was probably dried up. Soon as we put in a fresh new one, it printed just fine. and having found the tool box, I could run the tests to make sure all was as it should be. I do thank all of you so much for your continuing efforts to help. You're all welcome to come visit hubby in the hospital, if he survives what I entend to do to him! Cheers, Jann

I posted this last year, so it's just a copy/paste. The labels are washable. I have several on quilts which have been washed numerous times. This is about using the Bubble Jet Set solution: Posted by mary_c (My Page) on Sun, Jun 5, 11 at 10:03 Oh, I just follow the directions on the bottle, and it works fine. Perhaps the "hint" I had was the type of freezer paper I used - it's heavier than the stuff on a roll. It's also precut in 8.5x11" sheets, so it goes through the printer beautifully. I think Nancy's Notions may now sell this, but I got mine from C. Jenkins Necktie Company. Link below. Posted by mary_c (My Page) on Sun, Jun 5, 11 at 10:38 Well, I just learned something! The C. Jenkins is Cathy Jenkins, and she started out making custom handmade neckties. She INVENTED Bubble Jet Set! It's a pretty interesting website. And here's the website again: Here is a link that might be useful: C. Jenkins company
