Best Printer Under $200?

I'm looking to buy a new printer. Looking out at Staples and Office Depot websites just don't give me the info I want. I'd liek to hear from people who have used these things.

I haven't had a working printer in my house for 3 years. Always print at work. I need one though for my home business now. I am going to need to use this printer to print labels for my BBQ sauce. I am just using Avery 2 1/2" round labels and will affix those to the lid of the mason jar containing the sauce. I see all these $150 or so "photo quality" printers, but not sure what to buy.

Any suggestions? Price limit is $200.

Save your money until you can shell out more than 2 hundy for a printer if you want something worthwhile.

Well, I went and bought an Epson RX620. It retailed for $300, but with the sale price and a $100 mail-in rebate, I got it for $150 from Staples. Installed it last night and did some test prints and I must say I'm very happy with the buy.

Of course, it'll cost me $100 to refill the ink every time, but hopefully I can get a lot of prints out of these cartriges.

I've basically given up on printing. If I need something to be printed, I throw it on a keychain drive and head to Staples.

We do have a printer, but the kids pwn it, basically. It's on its last legs, a veteran of Dora, Pokemon, and Thomas printings...
