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.

thanks

just orded the cheaper mg3250 its only to print quotes/ invoices so should do me, two of you recommended the same one so must be ok.

got that paper and ink black and colour, was £70 delived so that do me.

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

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.

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