The suit involved the ink cartridges telling you they were empty when they still retained some ink.
I've never really heard any complaints/problems with the Epsons... I'm not familiar with their consumer models however. The professional models are amazing. My ex was a photographer, and used the printers, and I never once suspected the prints came out of an inkjet.
This would be my choice, as you probably can find it for less at other sources:

Canon makes good cameras. They probably make good printers:
