[DM-MUG] OSX Color Scanner and Color Printer

[Victoria L. Herring]

I don't recall who wisely suggested getting separate units in order 
to get the best of both (ignoring of course the cabling issue, but 
that can be solved tho not optimally) -- I have now spent the better 
part of a day online and also going around (OfficeMax, BestBuy and 
CompUSA) checking into options and, frankly, it's a royal pain but it 
appears that the top scanner/printer manufacturers are HP (PSC and 
Photosmart), Epson (Perfection) and Canon (i series and canoscan).

I recall some concerns about fading of photos/color prints and 
haven't yet been able to find reliable info on that - also another 
issue is 4 or 6 cartridges separate or joined (color) --
so now that i have (apparently) decided that two separate machines 
are probably the way to go, does anyone have any real life experience 
with those made by the above manufacturers?
