Recommend an All In One Printer
Hi All, My last printer, an Epson has given me no end of trouble. Not wanting to spend £30-£40 on a set of ink cartridges, I used compatible ink which wrecked the printer.

I then transferred (by copying) them onto the HDD of another PC, but a message came up saying some of the files were hidden and would not be transferred. Sure enough, the resulting file was short by 11,202,121…

Hi all, I just found out I can upgrade to a S3 for £125 or One X for £75 (which is odd as the One X is normally cheaper on higher price plans).
