Can this All in one printer/scanner be used without INK being in the printer, I asking because i use to have a cannon all in one and it didn't allow you use the scanner if you had no ink.

EDIT: It's a HP Desktop F2420

cooltt

Yes it can

As far as I'm aware, it will allow you to use the scanner if there is no ink in the cartridges but it probably won't allow you to use it if there is no cartridges in the printer.

ah is that what is it is knew it was something.

thing i cant understand is why a normal flatbed scanner cost more than a all in one.

Usually the all in one scanners are ideal for document scanning, but if you want it for high quality picture scanning, you'd need a flatbed one. Not always the case, but they do generally tend to have a higher resolution.
