Someone recommend me a good scanner/printer that's not Canon

I swear to God I'll never buy another Canon product after the horrendous 3 years I had with the MP520. That's the last time I ever trust any employee from Staples as well (obviously their agenda is to push crap out the door).

In a related quesiton. I'm looking for a high speed scanner to scan bunch of documents in an office.

when I say "bunch" I mean like 20+ boxes of paper documents size ranging from 8x11' to 11x17.with text on both sides.

I think the budget is around 500-$1300. It has to have:
- some kind of software to scan directly to PDF and can do duplex
- auto loading and auto feeding (silly to have to manually load each page)
- can do legal papersize and 11x17" size
- reasonablly fast

thanks in advance.

HP - Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Network-Ready Wireless All-In-One Printer

My office has one and we really like it.. You get to assign it it's own email address which in turn allows you to send emails from your smartphone to it.

How is HP's ink cartridge prices these days? I've had Lexmar X4550 for several years now... I do like it... wireless printing works well and what not but the ink cartridges run out so fast! And they are about half the price of this AIO printer... erg

I know that's how they make money but still...

If you are going to do lots of printing, then you are best off getting a toner printer.
