I'll second the Canon suggestion.  The iP4xxx series have been very  
good to me. We've got an ip4300 and an iP4200, along with an MP510.  
And in this case it is nice that they all take the same ink cartridges  
so we can steal from one another when the ink runs low.

The ip series will print double-sided without any additional hardware.  
The MP is a multi-function machine. They've all worked well for more  
than 2 years now. The ip (which are not IP enabled BTW) are in the $50- 
$60 range.
