Where to find printer comparisons/ratings

[carrida]

I am in the market for a new printer, and with the new printers announced by Epson and HP, I am ready to buy one of them. However, I want to hear some reviews and comparisons. Does anyone know of any sites that provide reviews of printers, and that might compare the new Epson Stylus Photo R1800 and HP Photosmart 8750 Photo Printers?

My default inclination is to go with the Epson due to their photo printer reputation, but the photos that I want to print and archive are B&W, and with the photo gray inks, the HP may have the edge in B&W printing. I'm looking forward to reading the reviews, the question is where to find them.

Thanks,

- David

The only other recomendation that I have is to ask a question in the photo printer forum available on this website.

Good Luck
