I've been using an HP 4M+ with duplex since November 1995, and can't
complain.  Their quality may have slipped since then.

I haven't found any printer that really works well with envelopes (unless
you count some Pitney Bowes printers that are designed specifically for
printing high volumes of flyers, envelopes and brochures).

I have an HP Photosmart 7360 that I like, largely because I don't use it
very much, and it's designed so that it can through long periods of
inactivity without clogging the nozzles.
