Requesting Help with Injet Printer Selection - HP C5180 or Canon Pixma MP530?

[Mike]

Hi, I need a replacement multifunction inkjet printer (print/scan but fax
isn't necessary).
I've owned two HP multifunction printers, most recently HP 2351, but both of
them developed
paper feed problems. After spending a couple of hours trying to fix it,
including browsing the
HP website, I decided to cut my losses and get a new printer.

I mainly print text and only occasionally use color and infrequently print
photos and scan infrequently
but need good results when I use it.

Can I refill the inkjet cartridges on the HP C5180 and the Canon Pixma
MP530?
If so, which ink is recommended? I read pigment inks are best.

CNET prefers the Pixma MP530 over the C5180.

I'd like to hear from people who have used these printers.

Thanks,

Mike

I've had it w/ HP inkjets. COSTCO sells the Canon MP 530 delivered for
$179.00.
