Recommend a printer?

[ewx]

I'm after a new printer. It'll be used both for documents (e.g. Naath's OU homework) and for photographs; though if I want particularly high-quality photos I'm happy to go get them done specially rather than buy/feed an unusually expensive printer.

It'd be attached to a Linux server and driven from Mac/Linux/Windows clients (presumably via CUPS) so it'd better be something that can be driven that way (ideally without endless pain but this is printers we're talking about...)

My old printer is an Epson Stylus Color 660 and appears to have unfixably clogged some of the black jets. So I'd prefer something that either inherently doesn't clog up or has the printhead built into the ink cartridge.

Recommendations for/against?

If anyone wants my spare ink cartridges (4 black and 4 color, non-branded), let me know.

I've been tempted by one; various vendors were offering a networked Brother machine for ~ 150 quid earlier in the year. Consumable costs worked out to be about half those of my bubblejet going on manufacturer's rated page count.

I came >< this close to buying one, then my current machine remembered how to print colour properly (for a while it was swapping cyan and magenta, which was very confusing) so I didn't. Still tempted, though.
