I need a printer too frank. I've been thoroughly pished off with my epson 830 - the nozzles clog up on a daily basis and a typical tank of ink uses more of it's content cleaning jets than printing.
The tanks can't be re-filled cos epson put a chip on the tank to disable it when empty so that you have to buy a new one from them.
Looking at the customer reviews on various websites, it seems I'm not the only one to love epson in the same manor!
So my next printer I think will be an HP all-in-one print/scan/copy type thing. Not sure what model yet, need more research!
