HP vs Epson

I have an HP 8610 at work and like it a lot....except for this: It won't automatically copy both sides of a two-sided document as does the older 8600 I have at home. You have to make a separate copy of the second side and put both in the document feeder to get a 2-sided copy. Why HP chose to drop that function is beyond me.

Other than that, it's been very reliable and does a good job with both print and photos/graphics. It has never jammed using card stock or photo paper. Some printers struggle with card stock. Look elsewhere if you copy two-sided documents frequently.

Apparently the HP 8620 and 8630 will scan both sides of a document for automatic two-sided copies.

Epson WF-2660

So, my parents finaly ordered a printer. Though it is Epson and it is the "cheaper" model (they just won't get the fact that for 30€ more, the print costs for black/white copys are cut in half), I'm kind of relieved as I have some applications due this weekend.
I'll pick it up tomorrow or on friday. I'm hoping for the best.
