Don't need fax and most printing will be black with occasional copying and scanning and very rarely printing digital photos

If I were shopping for one, I'd start with http://reviews.cnet.com/Printers/2001-3155_7-0.html?tag=ont.prt or maybe http://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,1874,10,00.asp and surf a little Both will let you sort by features, type, price, whatever... You'll also notice how some brands are always near the top. You'll probably end up with a list of 4 or 5 that fit your taste. Watch for reliability, cost of ink cartridge replacement, does it come with a cartridge to start, and what other users say (Amazon.com is great place for users to vent. Just search for the model, and scroll down for the link)... Then you just go shopping!

I've seen a Lexmark really cheap - but the colour cartridges seemed expensive; but I don't do much colour either so that wouldn't bother me. The Brother all in One is a good price too and does copying printing and scanning. I would check out Misco, Maplin, and Aria. I think it was Misco that had the Brother in the sale. Watch out for early morning bargains from Aria on Friday mornings - you may get lucky. Maplin give you free P&P over £35 and discounts. Spend £35 and you get £3 off - £75 and get £7 off. Watch the P&P costs at Aria - they can be high - but they have an excellent forum for customers.

I have a Lexmark X5150 printer which cost under $100 a couple years ago. It does it all. Caution: the printer you get will determine which ink cartridges you have to buy, and they vary a lot in cost...the cartridge cost ends up being more important than the original price paid for the printer.

I like my HP. It does it all and is easier to use than my parents' Lexmark.. The only beef I have with it is the cost of cartridges. The ones offered on the net are as expensive as ones from the store. You might want to check out the prices of the cartridges before buying a printer.

If you are going to print a lot it will probably be cheaper to buy a more expensive printer as the cheap ones usually require very expensive ink and toners. Compare different printers and see what the averege cost pr sheet is before you buy.

properly...by my staggering skills of deduction (and which you place no Brit. Bars) i'm guessing you reside in the united kingdom, sure? LOL besides, you may desire to check out Portugal or Spain, in the event that they have stable deals on journeys there, attempt expedia (or the ecu version of Expedia) they often have some wicked deals on holidays. Or once you're feeling adventurous you ought to head all the way down to Mexico, Cuba, or Jamaica, they consistently have super much less costly week long trip deals too. in basic terms some recommendations although.desire you have exciting, risk-free travels!
