All-in-one with two sided document feeder - any recommendations?
I have an HP7310 which is on its last legs and I'm looking for a
replacement. FAX isn't absolutely necessary but I do find the two-sided document feeder useful (or I did, it's one of the things that's broken). So, can anyone recommend a modern all-in-one that has a two-sided document feeder so I can copy double-sided originals. -- Chris Green |

So, can anyone recommend a modern all-in-one that has a two-sided document feeder so I can copy double-sided originals. You can look at the newer versions. The 8500A Plus or 8600 Plus are direct equivalents (the non-Plus are letter/A4-size scanner, Plus is legal-size [not certain of metric equivalent], Premium adds the second printer tray.) Several reviews have shown these still have some of the lowest printing costs for an inkjet. Thanks, there seem to be two HP possibilities actually, the 8500 series that you suggest and the CQ521B (C410b) which is aimed more at the SoHo market. Any feedback on reliability etc. of these would be most welcome. CNET likes the Epson Workforce 845. It's a bit cheaper, although the ADF only holds 35 pages instead of 50. Also, being Epson, I believe the heads are still non-replaceable, so you must change the ink when it says so. PS: My 7310 just died. It looks like the carriage connection to the drive cable broke (the cable is still there, but doesn't move the carriage.) So far, I haven't figured out how to get the thing disassembled enough to see if I can fix it or not. The scanner still works. I pulled out an old Deskjet 970 for printing (and US$70 for new carts!!) until I fix it or get a new one. The 7310 has never been my favourite printer really. -- Chris Green |

I ended up having to super-glue the drive cable to the carriage. The clamp had broken off. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!
