This is a pretty solid multi-function machine.
Pros:
Scanner: The scanner is fast and does a great job recognizing documents/pictures/etc. You can set specific settings if needed or go with the standard settings for ease of use. I don't know how many of you will remember the scanners from the mid-late 90's, but that was the last scanner I had (proprietary software, slow, loud, etc) and this one impressed the heck out of me. All my documents are now scanned in jpeg format with good, clear resolution.
Printer: I haven't printed pictures because I do so through Walgreens or Target, but it does a great job printing the basic needs of a household. Receipts, Google driving directions and various documents come off the printer quickly and in good quality.
Copier: Not much to say. It copies. Does a good job. Definitely user-friendly.
Price: Can't beat 30-40 dollars.

This printer will not allow me to print in the black & white option if I ran out of yellow or other color ink. Even if I only print in black & whites, it will still run out of color ink. I used this mostly as a copier and if I run out of ink then I will have to turn on my computer just to replace the ink cartridge. On the cartridge it has a computer chip that won't allow you to refill inks yourself. A 4 pack ink cartridge combo will cost more than a new printer that comes with the same type and amount of ink. It has trouble reloading papers on a #110 lb card stock papers. Not a good product for frugal people.

I previously owned an Epson C80. It worked for a while and then started spitting out paper without printing. Fixed the problem gave the printer to my son and purchased a Canon i960. Best printer I ever owned. Wore the print head out after thousands of printings. Expensive to replace. I was in need of a printer that was an all in one. I bought an Epson NX200 from [...]. The printer worked fine for a couple of months and then it started showing ink cartridge errors. Photo's started printing without all the colors and it started using ink and showing new cartridges as being empty. I want another Canon. Do not buy an Epson.
