I wouldn't have another Epson printer if i lived to be 100. As you say they are prone to blocking unless you're using it literally every day, and even then it will probably still happen eventually.
Printers are handy to have, though, for printing letters and such, so I don't think the 'forget the printer and buy it all online' option is really a complete solution to the problem.
I'd stick with HP. But, gun to me head, Canon or Epson, I'd go Canon.

I think both the view above hold a lot more weight if were talking about printing off the traditional 'Family Album' 6x4's............
If you are going to print off a lot of A4 or A3's then IMHO I think the home printer is King..... when you look at how much some internet sites charge (Photobox) A4 = £2.50....A3=£7.99
taking into account paper and ink I think the convenience of being able to print off images when required is worth while.
Must be luck of the draw because I have an Epson printer on (touch wood) never had a print head bloke yet
