3 in 1 printer/scanner/copier

[cycleman77]

I have been really interested in the 3-in-1 printer/scanner/copier machines. I've seen them for 150-200 bucks and I thought that was pretty decent. My question is: Are they any good?
Does anyone have one of these or have any experience with them? Any one model prefered?

Thanks

I use an HP, and it works quite nice, although i recommend using a usb line rather than parallel.

The faxing works great, both on the machine and the software. The printing is as good as my hp regular printer, if not better. The copy feature works equally as good. It does color copy and b&w.

The model is: hp officejet g85 all-in-one

This HP is really nice and i was surprised to see it for just under 200 bux.
I should have mentioned this before, but I would like one for home. The HP seems to be a little big and bulky.

The Epson Stylus CX3200 looks really good and even has a decent size. Unfortunately numbers arent everything. So does anyone have any personal experience with one of these?

thanks

I actually just ordered a cx5200 from dell. they have a 15% off special for printers/software (ends today), and free shipping in their small business section. (you don't have to own a business to buy from there). Reason I bought it was 'cause it looks pretty nice, good specs, 1200x2400 scanning, and from the reviews I've read on epinions.com and other stuff of the cx3200, the seems to be an extremely good buy. That & also the 5200 has separate ink carts for color, which is a big plus in my book. The total was like 177 shipped.

some reviews I found:
