    I don't have any of those but in my local IT magazine they just made a printers test with those two in it. So according to them Canon is slightly betterand faster than Epson. Best buy reward took Canon Pixma MP540 and Grand Prix took HP Photosmart D5460 so might want to check out those as the differnce in price is not that big.

    buy one that has separate ink cartridges... not one of them combo cartridges...

    if you happen to take lots of pictures of elmo.. you're gonna have to replace entire color cartridge instead of just the red tones..

    :D

    Even if it isn't between the two printers you said you should check the HP Photosmart D5460 as grbac it got an award too.
