hmmm current crop of printers at my house:

Older Lexmark E210 laser printer. Works geat but toner cartridges are beginning to cost more than printer!

HP deskjet 5650 - excellent looking documents, prints great photos, prints better blacks than the C5180

Canon mp830 AIO - fantastic unit! Prints great, scanner works really nice with Adobe Acrobat Pro

HP Photosmart C5180 - got this because the new house is big and wanted a network-capable printer to have upstairs. Works great! The networking is terrific though it does require you to run the HP software on each machine you want to use with the printer (you don't have to install the HP Photosmart software) because the drivers search your network for attached printers. You can also use the printer to scan and send the image to any of the computers on the network. Black printing isn't as crisp as the HP 5650 even though the C5180 has 6 individual ink cartridges.
