Printer recommendations?

[Steve Hooley]

        We've had trouble with HP Deskjet 680Cs for this kind of use - the
costly color cartridge primes itself with each reboot, then if no color is
ever printed, begins to gum up. Eventually the priming operation fails and
the printer stalls, demanding a new color cartridge before it prints B&W
again. We've had good luck with 600 and 600C printers - but we've decided to
get B&W-ONLY printers next time for B&W applications.
