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 love my Canon PIXMA which is now about 4 years old, works perfectly for large volume black and white but also produces very nice edge-to-edge photo results. Also does duplex and prints onto printable CDs/DVDs (though I don't think all the pixmas have both of these features). I gather the newer ones play fine with linux and some of the more expensive ones have RJ45 connectors these days. No issues with clogging print heads, individual colour cartridges so no ink wastage and they behave really well if not used for months at a time, too.
