You might look into the Brother models. Mine does all of that, and it’s the best printer I have ever had, better than HP’s, Canons, etc. I’ve had quite a variety, and this one preforms the best, hands down.

The Epson Eco Tank printers is the way to go. The cost savings on ink is amazing. I'm on my second one. Upgraded to get two sided printing so I could save on paper as well. I have a new one on order that will print 13x19. I'm done with the Gillette marketing model where the printers are cheap and they gouge you for the ink.

I just don't get the problems that everyone seems to have with Epson printers! I had an Artisan 800 for years until I gave it to my daughter-in-law (I could not find individual color cartridges that were high capacity unless I bought all 5 colors together!). I replaced it with an Epson ET-2760 which is working fine, but doesn't give the best of results with photos. I still have an Artisan 1430, which may sit unused for months at a time and yet, still prints photos with excellent results!

I am going to replace it with another Brand of printer. Has anyone on here found a decent All-In-One w/document feeder that gives them next to no trouble. I had a HP Photosmart printer before the Epson for 12 years with never a problem, then one day it quit and I found a broken plastic gear inside and of course not repairable.
If anyone on here can recommend a printer please respond here or PM me, Thanks.

If your HP Photosmart worked for 12 years without a problem, why didn't you buy another instead of switching to Epson?

I currently use an HP Officejet Pro 8710. It prints, copies, scans, and faxes. I've been using HP Officejet all in ones for many years, and I'm extremely satisfied with them. The print quality is always excellent. Hope this helps.

Hp8600 pro has worked for us for many years. The color prints are pretty good. It prints rather fast. I don’t remember the last time I had to do maintenance on it. Copier has been used some with no problems. The scanner does a good job.

My previous Canon AIO (MX922 I believe) did double sided scanning, the TR8520 does not.
(Have to scan front, then back, then re-arrange and save.)
I miss the 922, it lost its marbles one day.


I also have an TR8520 and it works great. I don't do a lot of scanning but when I do it works. For having just 4 cartridges it does very good photos. I only print for myself so it's not a big deal. I've had no problems with it. I don't use the wifi.

We must be lucky - I bought an Epson WP 3520 over three years ago - plugged it in and turned it on, and left it on. Always use Epson ink cartridges and recently only use it every few days. No problems and rarely clean ink jets. Print and scan. Double sided document feed even works well.
Have used Epson exclusively since it was an 8 pin dot matrix printer and have been quite happy.

Looking online, I am considering either a Brother color laser printer or an HP color laser printer. Still checking specs though. I might make a run to Best Buy to see them in person and hopefully run a test sheet or two. Both seem to have what I’m looking for. My last trip to see printers in person, I was shocked how cheaply printers seem to be made compared to my older printers that I have had.


We have Brother laser all in one printers at work, not sure which ones though. They work for us. I'm not sure ours do duplex though. Good luck

While I am a fan of Epson Eco-Tank printers it seems that other manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon.
Since Canon is a highly respected printer manufacturer, you may want to give these (below) models a look-see just to be fair.
However, I have no first-hand knowledge of Canon printers, only Epson and HP.

While I use my Epson a few times a week it only needs the routine maintenance just about every 1,000 pages or so, which I think is pretty great.
I just Love things that work well!

I found the multi task equipment is a compromise on some part of it or all of it. I have a Canon Pro1000 printer Canon scanner and a Samsung Black and White printer. Each was made to do one thing the best it can.

I think this printer is like the one we own. Really like ours

Whatever you go with... get a tank printer Epson, Canon, or what ever. I have had an Epson Eco Tanks now for over 2 years. It does decent prints and saves a ton of money on ink.

I have a Canon MX922 and it has the features you want. Works great and I like it because it will print on DVD discs. I use third party ink from 499INKS (https://499inks.com/) and have never had a problem. I don't print my photos from this printer.
