The HP C5180 In my opinion is the best printer on the market right now as far as quality, speed, cost of ink, and cost of printer. This printer is great for photos and the ink is very decently priced.
If you don't plan on using your printer for much, and you don't plan on doing photos at all, look at the HP C3180. You can buy cartridges for $15 each (there are two).
If you do plan on doing photos or a decent amount of color printing, the HP C5180 is very hard to beat.

No use spending a lot on a home printer because when they go on the fritz, it is less costly to replace than to repair.
I scrutinize our Sunday paper for ads from Office Max, Office Depot, Best Buy ... I have two working HPs - all-in-ones - paid $49.50 and they came with cartridges. I get my replacement cartridges online, currently from 1-inkjet.com.
Some users use refill kits. I can't be bothered. Some cities have places in a mall where you can get cartridges refilled. That means a trip. I prefer to order online.
If you want to search, go to www.bizrate.com and search for a home printer. You will get a list, by price.

Epson Sylus DX4850 Printer, Copier & Scanner. It's brilliant, easy to use and Epson cartridges are cheaper, and will take cheaper universal cartridges, although I use injection refills, which work fine.
Mine cost around £70 from Curry's.

I just bought an all-in-one from Brother based on someone's answer from Yahoo answers and really like it. It was $200 with a $50 instant rebate at Office Max.

Epson are your best bet. They seem to have the cheapest cartridges.

If you can get cheap generic cartridges, go for Epson.
