"By the mid-1990s, HP realized that printer manufacturing technologies had matured and it could completely outsource production."
However, cartridge manufacturing technologies have apparently not matured to the point where you can buy an independent cartridge without invalidating your warranty.

I'd have gone for a Brother myself, but I wanted both duplex scanning and duplex printing with ethernet - at the time (18 months ago) I couldn't find a Brother to match that spec. I think there was a model but I couldn't find a stockist.

I'm reasonably happy with a Brother MFC, though wish I'd gone for a duplex model instead. It reads photo cards as well.
Why not an HP?
For starters, the Brother said Mac compatible on the box.
HP are notoriously bad for printer drivers, especially when it comes to a software upgrade.
Brother don't have "timed" printer cartridges. When the printer claims a cartridge is out of ink, it really is out of ink.
I have avoided buying anything from HP ever since they fekked around a very big customer who was my client at the time. I'm not exactly impressed with the way they destroyed the once excellent support organization they inherited from DEC/Compaq.

I'd recommend my HP Officejet 5610, which has decent print quality, can scan as good as you need, and can photocopy and fax too. Except the double sided printing hasn't worked since I upgraded to Windows Vista.

I'm using a HP 9120, great bit of kit. Does duplex printing and has a document feeder that can scan in duplex mode as well (no more messing about turning that sheet of paper over again and again on the glass!!).
Has all the usual, Fax, Scan, Copy, Print and also have a network port so you can run it as a netowrk printer.

I've got a HP7410 and it's been ok so far - duplex printing, duplex scanning, wifi, etc etc.
The only niggle is the drivers: lordy do those drivers suck sh*t through a straw sideways! 700Mb of drivel, and if you've got a vaguely funny network (firewalls etc) it gets fiddly. Works fine now but Mrs Zorba has a ridiculously low computer problem tolerance level - explodes if Windows takes a second too long to load - so we had a 'teething' period, shall we say.

Tried a few but always go back to HP. Most reliable, and overall they seem to last longer per cartridge than other makes.
