You need to print and scan and copy and fax? You can either buy four different devices, or get it all in one package. See what reviewers are saying about the latest all-in-one (also known as multifunction, or MFP) devices.
Best of 2005: Inkjet All-In-Ones
All-in-Ones offers a convenient way to print, scan, copy, and occasionally fax from a single device. Most home and/or small office AIOs remain inkjet-based, which means that they offer good text printing and excellent color printing -- many, in fact, are so high-quality that they qualify as photo printers. For serious small business users, the price of desktop laser AIOs are becoming much more available.

These aren't going to do much for your family photos, but they'll get your work done.
