depends on how much printing you are going to do. if you are going to do a lot then look for the price of the replacement ink . this is where they make their money . so a cheap printer you could end up paying more for the ink . so it is best to price the ink catrages if you are going to print a lot

I worked at Best Buy in the Computers Department....if you have a Best Buy around, it'd be good to go there. They have an all in one printer with everything, for 99.99, and if I remember right, its the HP C3160 version. (HP is definetly the best by the way, very dependable!) Wireless is good too so you don't have to mess with the cords and stuff, you just have to go that extra step to hooking it up. Also, when you buy a printer, say from Best Buy, they don't come with the power cord/cable, so if you have an old one, which is a USB port cord, you can use that, or you will just have to buy a new one and they are around 30 dollars. And yes I know they rip you off, but the ink that comes with the printer, is really low. You will be able to print about....12-20 prints.
These days most printers are coming with 6 ink colors, opposed to just a black and white. They are actually a lot better and only 10 dollars. Good luck, anymore questions, you can email me!!

The HP (Hewlett Packard) range of printer/scanner/copiers isn't bad. I've got one model, and there are quite a few. They play ordinary printers pretty well in terms of price. Fax you can almost certainly handle with software already on your computer. Wireless kits are dirt cheap anyhow.

Goto HP 4355 Printer, it works like hell. Phone, Fax, Scan, Copy and Print. Is this more than Enough. It Costs only about 6999 in Indian Rupees means Approximately 150 USDollars. Goto that a heaven in a hell printer.

Get onto a company such as Dell.co.uk
They do really good printers at rock bottom prices....
all the specifications are shown and you can even talk to a dell helper in an online chat (free) to ask for advice and help!

You can't do better than "Lexmark" P6250 I've had a few printers including Pakard Bell, but the above beats the lot. Its not their latest model but prints anything without any trouble.
Good clean pics especially snapshots.
Hope this helps

Yeh i have a good psc all in one, and it is the one and only HP psc 2510..
it also has a lan reciever so you can wirelessly connect it to your network, and it does the jobs.... high quality printing...
also it has memory card readers, so you can read your memory cards on the printer and print them out according to your wishes...
Its a great printer, never been disappointed with it..

For the spec you are looking for does look like hp seem to be cheapest as people say. However, just make sure the inks are readily available to buy for the make and model. I always buy epson because inks are cheap. £9.99 instead of £30 etc.
