I have just purchased an HP 932 to replace my Epson 800. I can't
comment on the Epson 760 but I am very happy with the HP 932. I have
just finished printing 2 IBM manuals double sided (about 1200
impressions - 600 pages) on two economy cartridges (equivalent to one
Large cartridge). I also left each of them about 1/8 full so that I
can refill them later.

I found that the print on "draft" mode was just as good as the print
on "normal" mode at least for my manuals. I now have set my default
print to draft mode - and even color pages look quite nice.

All of this is printing on standard Xerox photocopy paper, not ink jet
paper.

The HP is also very quiet and does not spend 1 to  2 minutes cleaning
the heads each time I turn it on. I stopped using the Epson 800
because of this. And the Epson did this even if all I want to do was
print one page,

I printed a photo on both printers in their best mode (Epson -
1400dpi, and HP 1200/2400dpi) on glossy photo epson paper. The
pictures looked identical in quality. Of course, the Epson 760 is a
more recent printer and may be better than the HP 832.

Refilling the ink cartridges in the HP is easier that refilling the
Epson. The black HP cartridge is very simple to refill and holds 42 cc
of ink. The Espon printers are all rated as quite difficult to fill.

I am happy with my decision and for my uses the HP makes more sense
than the Epson.
