Ink refill kits & Canon Pixmap MP830?

rpseguin@gmail.com

Ok.
Our HP PSC 2210 broke down and refuses to do anything useful.
I'm not a big fan of all-in-one printers, but I've been told the newer
ones are a lot better.
I'm planning on printing a fair number of pictures on photo paper, and
do the occassional fax/copy.

I like the Canon Pixma MP830 since it is a 5 color system, is
theoretically refillable, does duplex and has an ADF.
Unless someone tells me otherwise, I am almost dead set against getting
another HP due to bad experiences with their ink costs, shelf life and
lack of refillability.

Anyhow, the Canon Pixma MP830 looks like a nice printer and I'm
considering it, but I have a couple of quick questions:

-What other all-in-one printers should I consider in the $250 or lower
price range that will provide excellent photo printing?

-Where should I get refill kits that are both inexpensive and have
great output and high durability (like Canon's 100 year)?

-I've read that if you refill the new CLI-xx and PGI-xx cartridges that
the ink level readout will not work after you do the 5 or more second
"reset". Any way to fix this?

You can try the MP780 . It uses the 5 ink system and ADF with duplexing
built-in.Great photos also .Ink is available to refill.Not so for the CLI
series.
I believe it is still available at Micro Center in the US.
Maybe other sites online also.
