Hi buzzworx - I have very limited experience and have in fact only owned the printer I have now - a Richoh 3300 from BMS - BUT as far as printers in general go, I've found it to deliever quality pics in a fast time whilst being very straight forward to use!

I'd certainly second what TPM says. The A4 Ricoh is a great little machine, but you won't be able to use your existing inks.
If you looking for a cheap, non supported printer, then there are posts on here about other Epson printers (and Brother printers).

For peace of mind you won't go far wrong with the Ricoh printer.

If i were to go for the A4 Ricoh printer am i'm going to have to set up another ICC Program cause the one i did for the epson took me hours to get right.

No need to set up ICC profiles unless you're a Mac user. With the Ricoh you use PowerDriver instead to manage colours. So you'd need to reset you existing graphics package back to default (or uninstall and reinstall it if you wanted), but PowerDriver makes it very easy to use.
