Help Please with selecting a Printer

I have had a search for this, but things change so quickly that it is probably worth exploring again.

I am seeking to upgrade my trusty HP DeskJet 815C for a variety of reasons. I run a Dell Dimension PC linked to a Netgear DG834Gv2 wireless modem router via ethernet with another Dell Dimension linked via a Netgear WPN111 adapter and at the moment I can only print from the main PC.

My plan is to create a network which will enable printing from either PC and to upgrade the printer into an all-in-one.

My printing requirements are standard nuclear family ones: homework, email, the odd photograph, copying, scanning, admin etc.

The main candidates seem to be Dell's own Photo 928 All-in one, HP Photosmart PSC 5280 All-in-one and Canon Pixma MP520 All-in-one. There are others, but research on the web has led me to these. The budget is not primary but it appears that perfectly capable printers are available from £50 to £150.

Has anyone out there recently gone through this exercise or has experience of these sort of printers.

Many thanks,
mcdhu
