My Lexmark1100 printer needs replacing-my ? is, will other brands work with my new Hewert Packard computer?

Question

My Consumer's Report monthly issues are my bible to buying items because they take no advertizement and tell it like it is on any item from cars to best decaf coffee brands. 

I am stymied about whether any printer works with any brand of computer. If so, what do you recommend and how happy or miserable are you with it and I will compare it with the current C.Report issue and get on the internet to order  it and if your ans. is chosen best-you know what you get! C.R. picks as best all-in-on inkjets: Cannon Pixma MP810 and 830 and 600. Also the HP photosmart C5180 and Officejet Pro L7580. 

My criteria is  that the photos print out beautifully, among other  requirements.

What is yours, rate it and would  you recommend it. Thanks for your responses.

I like the HP 8000 series.  They have good quality output, individual ink tanks, and a built in 4X6 photo paper tray.  From what I have read the new Kodaks have nice output.  Any decent printer will work with any computer.  It is just a matter of loading the correct drivers which normally come with the printers.  You are correct about Consumer Reports not accepting advertising, but they have steered me off course more than once.  Don't get totally locked in to the opinion of one or two writers.  CNET has good reviews of electronics and offers users comments as well.

Consider this as a possible soulution. I have a "Continuous Ink Supply System" (search term) on my Epson. Cuts cartridge costs (from Â£5 to 40 pence...) Works beautifully, and so cheap.
