Want to buy 1, maybe 2 printers and wanted to get recommendations on a
new printer.

Looking for standard home computer printer with color capabilities.
My last one was a Canon BJC-600, so anything like it or better
would be nice.

I've considered the HP 932C and the Lexmark Z53 so far, but not sure if any more are in the same price range that's recommended.

Thanks

I also had to get a new printer not so long ago. I went with a HP 920c. It was cheap and I have heard good things about HP's reliability. The warrenty is only 90 days but oh well I will hope for the best. Other good choices I found through my research were the Epson c60 or c80. They have water proof ink which is cool. Hope this helps.

Last December PC Magazines top pics were:

Epson C80
Canon S500
Canon S300

The Epson has among the cheapest per page cost at 4 cents per page. It is fast - 20 ppm in b/w draft mode and 12 ppm in color mode. And inks are waterproof! That is what I got. With the $30 rebate it will cost $150 or less if on sale.
