looking for the best copier

I am looking for a good all-in-one machine.  I have, in the last 7 years, been through 2 Brother machines, 1 Lexmark, and now a Kodak 5500 that is not even 1 year old.  This Kodak was great at first, and I loved it because the ink cartridges are only half the cost of the Lexmark (which, by the way, produced great quality pictures and copy), but the Lexmark just up and stopped working on me one day.  I don't remember the exact message it was giving me, but it was something I found out I was going to have to contact Lexmark about and basically have the machine refurbished, which I did not do because it would have cost about as much to do that as to buy a new one.  Then my husband brought home the Kodak, which I loved up until about a month ago, when it started just not copying at all,  and it changed ink colors on me all on its own when I tried printing something.  Black is yellow, red is green, etc.  I changed ink cartridges thinking maybe that was the problem, but with brand new cartridges it still does the same thing.  I am going to contact Kodak and see if they can tell me anything, but in the meantime does anyone have a recommendation for a good, reliable AIO if I can't get the Kodak working?  I hate paying for the ink cartridges for AIOs too, but that is unfortunately the kind of machine I need.  Thanks very much for any ideas.

Yep, I just about think I'm inclined to agree with you on the AIO situation.  It's giving me grief this morning as I'm trying to scan and copy a document (which is what I have to do now when I want a copy of something since the copier part doesn't work), and now, this morning, the scanner tells me it is having to "abort the operation." Thanks for all help.  (I do have an HP laser printer that has been wonderful, which I have had to have for printing letters and such, but it's just a printer.)
