So, Russell, what are the options?

I recently bought an Epson Stylus C65 (I know it is a cheap one but was
short of cash!) and it is got to be, in my opinion, the WORST printer in
the world. Painfully slow, black  ink cartridges only last a couple of
weeks with moderated use, takes lot of time to start printing, worst draf=
t
mode in the world and doesnt handle paper very well. Comparing it with
cheap HP=B4s I have owned, it looses by far. Because of this, I am stayin=
g
far from Epson. I use to be a Lexmark fan but ink prices (at least here i=
n
my country) began to raise too much. I switched to HP and then they start=
ed
their "ink blackmai" policies so I tried the Epson. Now, should I go for
Canon? Maybe the PIXMA series?

The newer they get the darker their force becomes.

Later versions had inbuilt memory to tell the printer the cartridge=20
was persona non grata after a certain number of copies.
