I just got my brother one of HP's latest entries...I think it was the PhotoSmart C3180. Actually got it from the Apple Store...it is OSX compatible, of course.
I was really, really impressed with just the Copy function alone. It did a terrific job of reproducing some photos (both color and B&W) on the fly. Text was superb also...and I've never been too impressed with that feature on most all-in-ones (granted, unless they were laser printers).
My brother says that it prints very nice color. He loves to take pictures of sporting events, etc...so he's a little picky when it comes to the output on paper. So far, he is happy. They are also expecting in March, and are looking forward using it for getting out photos to people throughout the next year or two.
While it may not be the best...or the most feature-riches (has what you want, but possibly not a fax...can't remember) - it is the latest I have actually messed around with.
