Any recommendations for a printer/fax/copier/scanner?

About a year and four months ago I purchased a Dell 966 all in one printer. It just crapped out on me. When it is in the initializing process it shuts down and starts up the initialization process again. It just does this over and over. Dell told me it is out of warranty and I basically have a boat anchor on my hands. I work in outside sales so I use the printer alot but don’t abuse it. I need something in a similar price range that serves the same purposes. Is it possible to find a printer that will last more than 1-2 years without crapping the bed? Or should I just purchase the same product and make sure I get the warranty?
Please advise…

Device doesn’t work on USB hub but works when directly connected to the computer?

retants asked:

I have 2 different devices (a label printer and a digital camara) that work just fine when plugged into one of the USB ports that are built into my computer but don’t work when I plug them into my USB hub. I’m out of internal ports (1 for the keyboard/mouse, 1 for the external disk drive, 1 for the USB hub that still has 2 other devices that work on it and 1 for a printer/fax/scanner device).

Will getting a PCI USB Card resolve this problem? Or do I need to play musical-USB-port with all the devices until I find a solution that works? Or is there a way to beef this up so that these more lightly used devices WILL work with the hub?
The USB Hub is powered and only half full (although that shouldn’t matter).
As I said, the USB hub is powered. So that isn’t the solution.

Will a PCI/Internal card be able to provide more power to the label printer?
