I have a graphic design business and had an Epson Stylus Color 3000 which can print banners and 13x19 output. My need to print oversized output is nil now since most people will review proofs by PDF via Internet. I researched printers on AMAZON.com and decided on this one.
I LOVE IT. This printer is great. I have plan paper loaded in the back, and my stationery loaded in the front. I can print invoices so quickly. Doesn't seem like paper feed will become an issue on this printer (as it had with the EPSON) because of the way the printer is designed. Also doesn't seem the "charge" the ink each time you turn it on like the Epson did.
Its scans are very good quality and produced very quickly. My daughter is graduating from 8th grade. We had to supply photos for a slide show. I scanned some baby photos and they look absolutely awesome. Comparable quality to my former, slower flat bed scanner.
If you'll be doing a lot of photocopies, you might want to consider another unit, because this one takes about 1 minute to make a photocopy (I think it scans, then converts to a print file, then prints).
This printer was also a cinch to install. Be sure to buy a USB printer cable because one is not included with the printer.
This is an exceptional printer for the price. Moreover, the supplies are reasonably priced. Just be sure not to purchase the CLI-8 4 pack of ink wells (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) as the black in this pack is not the one used for the printer (this ink showed up in the recommended purchases on my screen when I was purchasing the printer). You need the PGI-5 black for this. At the time I purchased them, it was actually cheaper to purchase all the 3 required CLI-8 inks (I bought extras of each to have on hand) separately rather than buy the CLI-8 3 pack.
Customer Review: Everything I wanted.

I read the reviews before purchasing this product and they were all positive and so it was just as expected, it has all the features I wanted and was easy to use. I didn't want to spend a lot of time trying to get it set up and figure out how to use it and didn't have to. The set up was quick and easy as is the use.Customer Review: Great all in one

I have been an HP printer guy but after reading reviews the MP520 looked like a great printer. It is. I se it for scanning documents a lot and it does that very well. The included software lets you save a jpg or pdf (probably other options) - but I like the ability to save as a multi page pdf.
I did not use my last printer for photos a lot but I bought some canon photo paper and find my self using for photos a lot - and they look great.
The ink seems to be relatively low priced and it has five separate ink tanks (two blacks - one for color and one for black only). The software did tell me I was almost out of black probably 200 sheets before I was out and told me I was out 50-100 sheets early.
