I need a good All in one printer

Forum Computer Peripherals : Printers I need a good All in one printer

In the past I've had HP all in one printers (both office jet and photo smart) and for the most part liked them, but always had issues with the Ink costing too much for the use I get out of it?

Now I own a lexmark prevail pro 705 and to be frank here it's a total piece of junk! The Lexmark uses too much Ink, and then the unused ink will dry up while I'm waiting for the next documents I need to print out (In less then 3 weeks some times), then Lexmark has a habit of changing their chips in the printer cartridges so if you bought extra ink to be used at a later date it might not be usable because the ink cartridge doesn't have the up to date chip in it and the printer will say it's incompatible.

Not a big deal if you DO NOT upgrade the software, but I did and when I reverted back, the printer still didn't like the ink that was working before I upgraded? go figure. First and last time I would ever buy a lexmark printer! Oh and my lexmark stopped printing all together now, all it does is smear everything IF it will actually print anything at all? No matter what I do it won't print like it did when new. Oh and their customer support is terrible as well< I've gone round and round with them wanting some sort of number they said is hidden under the print heads (why they want this I have no idea), but I cannot find the numbers they want and untill I find them they won't help me.. I'm just going to toss this POS in the garbage.

So here I am thinking about going back to HP. I've looked at both the HP Office jet 4500 and the office jet 6500A, both of them are wireless. The 6500 is on clearance at my local staples right now for $90 bucks. The problem I'm having is when I went to Newegg to look at the feedback, both printers have awful feedback? SO I'm here asking for your help in putting me on to a good reliable wireless color ink jet (would love to get a color laser printer for this money but I know that's a pipe dream) all in one printer for less than $125.00? Wondering if anyone out there can help me out?
