all in one printer

hiya people

Wondered if you could help. I am looking for an all in one printer with a slot for my digital camera memory. Not bothered about Fax machine, just general print, copy, scan and to print pictures etc.

Dont really want to spend alot - Maximum £100 - doesnt have to be new as long as it will work!

Any ideas where i can get one? have looked on ebay but dont know what one is a good one and i dont like PC world !

Thanks in advance

    HP 6280 is £99 at Tesco direct and others, Its aimed at photo printing with memory slots for digital camera memory, a small screen for printing direct from the memory card, a second paper tray for photo size paper and uses HPs 6 colour Vivera printing system with large black cart. It has a double sided printing module too.
    I`m pleased with the photos I`ve printed so far. I dont know about running costs yet but there is a pack of 150 sheets of photo paper and a full set of 6 ink carts available for £28.

    I have just seen this printer at Costco for £70 inc vat! the photo printing pack is cheaper there too.

    I recently bought a Epson SX205 which I think is spot on, it was £50 on offer from £80 in currys but it might be worth having a shop about. It takes the memory cards directly or links up your camera by USB cable. The inks are a good price too and it also takes separate ink cartridges which are around £23 for a full set of originals. I find it easy to use also and it was easy to set up considering how useless I am when it comes to things like this.:D

    Epson SX400 was £60 from Currys. Has a LCD display unlike the SX205.

    I was an early adopter of the HP Vivera 6-cart system, got 658 printed pages from the black cart (500 more than from my Epson cx3200).

    HP are the ONLY people to build printers that 'suck' the ink in during a cleaning cycle, rather than squirting-it out.
    Print quality is quite good.
    I've just put a Canon MP620 on my sons pc, so will be comparing the performance against my HP PS 3210.
