Re: printer needed
I got one of these earlier this year, easy to use, cheap, ink's not too expensive, does a good job on paper and on photo paper:

Re: printer needed
I use Canon as well. This one has WiFi capability too if you need it (printing from tablets etc)

Or this Canon....slightly cheaper, new model.

I've used HP home printers until recently but their reliability has not been good. Office ones are fine.

Re: printer needed
It was cheaper to buy a spare printer rather than more ink ) I bought another printer using the same ink models for £25 )

Re: printer needed
Ridiculous isn't it. At my last employer we could get brand new wifi/bluetooth enabled multi-function printers for £18. New inks were £27 even with staff discount.
Good thing the printers were that cheap - I've not had one last more than a year. Got 2 spares left.

Re: printer needed
I butcher the cartridges now. Drill a hole in the top, refill with an injection needle with bulk ink and seems to be fine )
