Query to the group mind

[jack_ryder]

We are looking for a (needless to say cheap) printer/scanner that can print on dvds/cds and has multiple ink/laser cartridges.

It also needs to print out photos (a Pictbridge connection would be grand.)

Needs to be able to connect to both a pc and a mac (I guess with USB 2.0) but a network connection would be fantastic (but not mandatory.)

Any ideas of a good model?

I want to qualify the "cheap part". I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount (under $1000) for said printer, but I don't want to pay large sums out for toners. I prefer a printer with separate ink tanks for each colour, as this works out cheaper in the end (and less wasteful, particularly as I am planning to use to print out cross stitch patterns). It should be reasonably easy to use, and if it doesn't jam regularly then that would be a bonus.
