£30 Epson 3-in-1 printer NOW at Argos

we_are_always_skint

not one argos anywhere near us has one in stock - if i manage to find one somewhere can someone please answer my rediculously stupid question lol, if i buy this to go with my daughters laptop is it just a case of her plugging a lead into the laptop whenever she wants to print and off she goes? shes only 8 so it needs to be fairly simple - and she has me as a mother and im useless with technology thanks

they have these back in stock now at tesco direct for 39pounds. They used to sell the sx100 for 29 pounds as well. I usually refill the cartridges myself very easy but a bit messy and saves a fortune.

THANK YOU so much for taking the time in posting.:D . I had looked at that printer but it's £78 at Argos, Staples, Epson direct etc.. so was trying to forget about it..It's now ordered from Tesco and i will pick it up so no del charge!
If you don't mind me asking, where do you buy the refill cartridges? And also i now need to buy the usb lead i guess, is it a standard one?..i think i will check on ebay... thanks a lot anyway.:j I shall pick up mine on tues am i think.

not sure on the cartridges as I only ordered today too but apparently they are cheap, I usually refill my own.

The install guide with the printer does say that the inks provided with the printer are not full, also it has to 'prime' the heads which uses up a fair amount of ink. And Epson cartridges are never full to the brim.

If you are looking for cheap compatible inks, I've just ordered a set of 10 inks (2 x 3 colours + 4 black) from Internet Inks. If you go via a cashback site (i.e. Topcashback) you get 15% and there is a discount code for another 10% off somewhere on MSE, so you get a really good deal. I've yet to use the inks, so can not vouch for their quality etc.
