It is recently replaced by a newer model. I've seen the for $179. Try outpost.com. Its a 6 color printer and will do a better job for photos than the 980. If you want color and B&W. If you only want B&W look for an 860 and then buy Piezo for it. Lots more money though. In long term investment thinking no printers qualify. You'll be buying another in a couple of years. Henry
