http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml - crucial tool for Epsons, they DO have a "death counter" - the waste ink counter - you SHOULD service the printer and either replace or clean the waste ink pads, but you may get away with just resetting the counter - be aware that the printer could puke waste ink from a clean, if the waste reservoir overfills.
I'm not keen on "all your eggs in one basket" all in one machines, unless you MUST save that space (though individual scanner and printer are less bulky units, and may fit where an all in 1 would be awkward. or you value the standalone copier feature of some of them.
If you print CD labels, maybe an R200 for printable CDs would be a good move.

You could get the printer alone for about the same overall price at Ebuyer, but with both of these, the cheapest scanner takes you over budget.
PS. Epsons DO have a bit of a clogging habit, I'd say you should excercise them once a week to be sure - a normal text/color page, the black and colour test blocks. Or anything you would normally print in some numbers, spread them out.
If you fear a fatal head clog, then stay with discardable heads in the HP, Lexmark and SOME Canons - the best of the Canons, you can choose to replace either the inks, or the whole head and ink set (which WILL need replacing occasionally, as under that system, it's not designed to last the life of the printer).
On any discardable heads, I'd be looking at refills, and on Epsons, probably clone cartridges.
PS.
PHOTO printers, at lest in EPSON terminology, use 5 colours and black, which may be a 5 colour tank, or 5 individual - the individual colours can be a saving, if you use 1 or 2 colours excessively, and with the 5, using up the light cyan in sky tones may be a problem.
In practice, the ultra-high resolution of modern 3 colour + black models, makes them as good as previous 5 colour models - they don't have the light cyan and light magenta, but they can apply exceedingly small dots of the ordinary ones.
