Need new all-in-one printer compatible w/Mountain Lion

I upgraded my MBP to Mountain Lion a few months ago, and I'm having a printer crisis. I have a Canon MP500 which does a very nice job printing photos, documents and copying, but the scanning feature won't work with Mountain Lion. I contacted Canon and they indicated that they would not be upgrading the drivers for that printer to support Mountain Lion.

In addition, I have an old (make that really old) HP multi-purpose device that I kept just for faxing, but that finally broke down yesterday.

So, since I have to replace the scanner and need fax capability, I would like to get one device that will do everything. It's important that it prints photos well, but I don't have room for a large machine.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 17", purchased 1i 2010

I've got an Epson NX530 that works nicely over Wireless. I've never directly connected it.

The NX are the home/consumer versions and they have some slightly more expensive home office/small business versions that use the same mechanisms.

I don't think any of the front panel buttons work (except Copy), but I can scan from Image Capture which I prefer over any of the bundled scan utilities I've ever had. I think my wife scans using the Epson software and has never asked me how to use it.

I really don't print that much, so I can't comment on the economics of ink usage.
