Best printer for minimal work for wedding invitations?

I own a wedding invitations business and while I source out most everything to professional printers, I would like to be able to print some little things at home such as envelopes, drink flags, small signage. I am having trouble finding the correct printer for my needs.
Last night I purchased an Epson R2000, got it home and was unable to print envelopes on it. There were streaks continuosly on the page. Even when I printed an 8.5 x 11 invitation suite just to proof, the quality did not look that great. So, I am wondering if the Epson R2000 was too much printer to purchase since I do not need to print photography on it.
Does any one have any suggestions? Also, inkjet or laser? I am Mac user with Illustrator, InDesign, etc.

I installed the new drivers and the HP7130 no problem it was working then I installed microsoft office didn't appear to be a problem 1 freeze - then it started freezing so I uninstalled hp 7130. I have done memtest and hardware test seems it would be easier to get a new printer will keep this aio for the other computer especially since this one wouldn't network through airport - think I want one that does good photos for my flyers - thanks for the help so far and if anyone has a magic wand for computers let me know - and you favorite printer suggestions would be great I have both and old Epson stylus 900 pictures are grainy and an old HP photosmart 1280 out with the new in with the old

What is the best printer to use - inkjet or laser
Any recommendations on printer?
This printer - Buy CANON PIXMA PRO-100 Wireless A3 Inkjet Printer | Free Delivery | Currys - seems to have good reviews and specs, will this do the job?
Any recommendations on where to source good quality card for the prints?
Thanks

Had 2 Phaser 7700's - excellent print quality - large footprint, overpriced and consumeables are expensive
Currently have a Konica Minolta Magicolor 7450 - print quality close to the Phasers, large footprint, good price, consumables much cheaper than the Phasers - Noisy, not great in a small office.
No FHE with the OKI but it looks like a nice machine. Best to find a dealer and check out print quality and if you have small space watch out for the fans humming it can get overwhelming intrusive.

Best Printer for Two-Sided Printing?

Hi all,
I do a lot of printing of very long documents (up to 300 pages each) - right now I have an Epson CX4800 Inkjet which works very well, but I fear I am running it into the ground. Also, I am going through tons of paper and ink. I'd like to get an inexpensive laser printer (under $300) that can do duplex (two-sided) printing so that I can use less paper when printing out early drafts of projects. I don't want to have to manually flip the pages over and put them back through the printer because I am a ditz and a klutz and always wind up getting the pages in the wrong order when I do this - thus wasting even more paper. I just want a printer that can do automatic two-sided printing for under $300. Am I delusional?

No matter what printer you are going for (please specify if you are looking for a colour or mono laser), the biggest expense you would encounter are consumables: toner, drums, transport belts, fuser unit. The reason you should do that first is that consumers are lured into buying a cheap printer and by the time of the first toner change they have to spend as much money as they did on a printer.
What you have to do first is look around for a printer that has lowest cost for consumables (i.e. lowest cost per page print). The easiest thing to do would be take a supplier of consumables, and write down all the prices for the toner for specific models of printers, then divide them by the number of pages you can print from that toner - in this case you will get a breakdown for each colour: say, a replacement toner costs £50 and yields 4500 prints (with standard 5% page coverage) = 1p per page for that colour. Then compare this costs against the costs of your other candidates and you got yourself the most cost-efficient printer.
Besides that though, you might hav e to spend money on things like drum (lasts for about 25000-40000 pages in SOHO printers) and transfer belt (again, 25000-40000) - but that all depends on a printer, as sometimes toner and drum are separated, so you have to get both, sometimes they are in one set, which cuts your costs.
In my case, I've got a Xerox Phaser 6120, and although it might not be suited for you, it's OK for me as duplex unit can be added on, and I don't do this many prints. In your case my biggest concern would be, as I have said, the prices for consumables.

Best printer for photos for Macbook Air

What is the best printer to install with a new Macbook Air for printing nice quality pictures? My old Canon MP960 does not appear to be compatible with the new system.

The last printer driver that Canon released for the MP960 was for OS X 10.7. You may be able to install and use this driver so here is a link from the Canon Australia web site. Note that this driver is not signed for OS X 10.9 so Gatekeeper may block its installation. To get past Gatekeeper, right-click on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. You will now have the option to install this driver.
If you have any issue with using this 10.7 driver on 10.9 then there is an alternate driver suite known as Gutenprint, although its photo quality is sometimes not as good as the Canon driver - the extra Photo Magenta and Cyan inks in the MP960 are not used correctly. If you are happy to keep the MP960 then there is another driver suite called Printfab that costs €49 and produces quality photo prints.

Best printer for printing DVDs

I've been an Epson user for many years. But I've always had mixed results printing on discs. Lately my printer rejects the disc about 4 out of 5 times I attempt to print. I have the stylus Photo R340.
The Epson software & support seem VERY dated.
So what is everyone using to print DVDs?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
g

After putting up with an Epson Stylus Photo printer for several years and dealing with lots of poorly printed and ruined DVD's using this printer. I recently purchase a Canon IP4500. Canon printers sold in the U.S. (for licensing reasons) do not (out of the box) support printing to DVD. The Canon printers sold in the U.S. ARE capable of printing to DVD's. By using Google and eBay I was able to buy an inexpensive tray for loading DVD's and inserting them into the IP4500 and find a video showing a few easy steps that reprogram the Canon IP4500 for printing to DVD using Canon's PrintCD software. This took less than 10 minutes to do and was very simple.
I have now printed over 30 DVD's with the Canon IP4500 without a single problem. It just works, perfectly every single time! I purchased the printer from Amazon, the CD tray off of eBAy, and found the video on how to prepare the printer for printing to DVD's online using Google. I highly recomend going this route.

What is best printer for scanning

my hp c410a does not work with mtn lion

Any of the multifunction printers or standalone scanners on the Apple Store will work with your Mac. Check reviews there. You can almost always find them cheaper on Amazon or Newegg. Personally, I like the Canon Pixma MX series - they're not the most sophisticated printers in the world, but they scan duplex and work with the built-in scanning panel in OS X.

I just bought an HP Office Jet 8600 Pro 4-in-1 and it works perfectly. It was on sale at Staples for $229. I did have an HP eStation with the Zeen and it worked fine, just didn't have a feeder--flat bed only.
