Does anyone have any recommendations for color inkjet printers these days? I'm trying to browse at Newegg (just as a starting place) and finding the selection extremely daunting.
1. I expect the successful candidate is likely to be an HP, Epson, or Canon.
1b. However, it cannot be an HP ENVY unless they have figured out how not to make it effing LOUD AS HELL. My mother's wakes me up from sleep through both of our closed bedroom doors even in supposedly "quiet" mode.
2. Connection by both wi-fi and USB is preferred, but if not, then USB only is acceptable. (Cabled ethernet won't work where it's going to go.)
3. I do not want an all-in-one unless that's absolutely unavoidable. I'm tired of chucking perfectly good scanners because something's gone amiss with the printer.
4. It doesn't have to be hot shit at photo printing, because its more common use would be for printing things like flyers and buttons for PantheaCon. Nor does it need to print extremely fast because it's not going to be used for (sort of) high volumes very often.
5. Price is not exactly no object, but don't take it into account in your rec, so long as it falls in ordinary consumer range and not professional.

Ink tanks, I think is the word you want. (Something else that's a pain about my mother's Envy - the ink cartridges are not only expensive, but small. At least on my previous HP they lasted longer.) Unfortunately, that model has been discontinued by Epson but I'll look at their current replacement. What would you say about its noise level?
