I have a good photo printer etc., but I also have a cheap-o ancient little HP that I use to do envelopes (it is easy, front loading and WORKS).  I have had trouble figuring out other printers on how to do an envelope easily and right.  I definitely want a front loader (paper goes & comes out the front)  Don't care about photos etc- I have another printer for that.  The one I have that works is old and seems to be having problems so I think I'm going to have to replace it.  Something cheap- it doesn't need to do much- very simple.  Also- when I do cards / scrapping- I type my words on plain paper, print them out, then tape my cardstock piece over the printed plain paper with repositionable tape and run it back through- my point in explaining this is that the printer must be able to do this- on some, the card stock taped to plain paper would be a problem, I know.  Can anyone suggest something SIMPLE and front loading?  I'd appreciate it so much.  I really prefer to do my envelopes in the printer and also my sentiments etc-- I hate my hand writing and using my thousands of fonts is part of the fun for me.  Thank you!

Sorry, I have an HP all in one for photos, scanning, and copying.  Hope someone can help you out.  But I'd suggest an HP or Epson.... I haven't had many printers, but these have never given me trouble.  Just on the Epson, it became impossible (almost) to find ink for it!

I love HP printers.  I totally love that it's wireless and I can print from my ipad, iphone, laptop, pc, etc.  Mine was $100 a few years ago and I am sure that prices have gone down some. 

I had an Epson once.  Took FOREVER to print.

I have an Epson all in one and would not recommend it to even an enemy.  The color is never right.  Haven't tried an envelope so can't speak to that.  My sister always said that she thinks an all in one just can't decide which phase its supposed to be in so it gets little right.  The ink also goes fast on this one.
