I don't know why I haven't been back. I remember telling Stephanie afterwards that I felt like I'd spent the day in another world. Now that I live in San Francisco, and can do (or not do) anything I want, my adventures have been taking me <a href="http://justinsomnia.org/2008/03/spring-break-2008-death-valley/" rel="nofollow">out of the city</a> more often than not.

My first piece of advice would be to avoid multifunction devices, which seem to me to be aimed more squarely at the consumer market and thus worse supported in the long term in terms of drivers, etc, as well as (subjectively) lacking in build quality. I think two separate printers is still likely the way to go. For B&W go for a workhorse printer aimed at the office workgroups. My HP1200 has worked now for 8 years or so, with very few issues at all. For color, I have a photo printer, the Canon IP6600, which seems to be working out OK both for photos and regular color printing.
