Just went "Office Space" on my Epson R300 printer. Suggestions for new?

[The Grim Ninja]

The last month or two, this thing has been horrible for me. The CD/DVD tray refused to work without a large amount of user intervention for every disk. (rectified by ripping the plastic piece off and taking a dremel to it), then it decided that it could no longer draw in paper by itself anymore, requiring the user (me) to force feed it paper every time I needed to print. This got old VERY quick, especially since that was only about 20% successful.

I figured it was probably old rollers so I tried taking it apart to clean them. That resulted in a "General Error" and the only source for manuals to fix that online seemed to require $10 for the manual (WTF is that about?). I decided I would feel better to take out my frustrations and move on, so I did.

(No, it's not regular for me to abuse any hardware. This is just a once-every-three-years type thing and only for hardware that I fight with for more than a month.)



So.....

Now I need a new printer. It needs to print on CD/DVDs as well.

I'm looking at the Epson R260.

Yes, I would like to avoid Epson, but at the price, nothing beats them. I can't currently afford a 'real' CD printer. (Unless they're under $300 and totally kick-ass and I just missed them)

The cheapest R260 I've found is either at the Epson store online or at B&W Photo.
