I'd prefer Epson over HP. They are slower than HP, but the printouts you
get are generally better. The newer and mroe expensive ones produce
pictures that hardly can be distinguished from real photos. However, for
some strange reason Epson printers think it's a good idea to clean
almost every single piece of their heads and ink cartridges and do this
all by themselves - mostly at powerup, but sometimes even between two
pages. So it can take a minute (or two ;-) before an Epson printer is
ready for printing. 

But, as I said, you'll be more than happy with what comes out of your
Epson printer! Of course you might still want a printer for plain text
and don't need very high resolution photos - then it'll probably a wise
choice to go with HP.

Ah, and another one: At least over here in Germany, the local Epson
departement is very accommodating when it comes to repair services. They
sometimes clean or even repair printers a few months after the end of
their warranty without charge. Can't say the same about HP.
