I have always used HP printers and have had pretty good luck with them over the years.  A number of years ago some folks here spoke highly of Brother printers so I listened to their sage advice --------------- and hated the printer for as long as I owned it.  Go with the brand you are comfortable with and do some research as to what models are in your price range.  Sometimes product reviews can be helpful, but you always have to factor in that there are going to always be a couple of folks that complain about everything they purchase so take the reviews with a grain of salt.
