OT - Printer/Scanner recommendations?

I'm upgrading my current scanner and printer for max speed and resolution. Going to add scanning and reprinting photos to my bag of tricks. Does anyone know of an all-in-one that doesn't sacrifice on speed or resolution? How about a printer that offers CD/DVD printing? I'm ready to pitch my second Epson R200 if I can find a replacement. Currently I'm looking at the HP Scanjet 4850 and the Canon PIXMA ip6700D. Resolutions are consistent but I don't know about the Scanjet speed. Going to be doing a lot more montages so I need SPEED and lots of it.

Thanks!

No specific recommendations, but i'll mention that all-in-one solutions usually sacrifice a lot to get lower prices. You'll probably be much happier overall with individual components.

I've got a ScanJet 4570c and the speed is pretty amazing. I can do an 8x10" scan at 300dpi in probably less than 15 seconds. This thing is 3 years old. I would assume that newer models are correspondingly faster.
