I am in the market to purchase a printer-scanner. My husband works from home and I am an avid photographer. I am looking for something which will provide fabulous photo prints and high resolution scans. Additionally, I want to have the ability to scan negatives and slides. I am not opposed to purchasing an additional item (within reason considering cost) to do the slide and negative scanning as it is not the primary reason for purchasing the printer/scanner. Any advice on particular brands or models to consider or avoid? So far I have been looking at HP only (I've never owned anything else but I am open to other brands).
Thanks,
Suzanne
