School teacher in need of help!

Hi there,

I'm a teacher and money is scarce in my school. Am looking to buy a cheap all in one printer and was wondering if anyone had any codes or vouchers for anything online at all to help.

Cheers in advance!

    You will find all the cheapest printers on Ebuyer.Com they are cheaper them Amazon and have are based in the UK - Get a Brand New PC for under £200 delivered - cheaper then Tesco's!
  • Fot a school i recommend you spend extra on a black & white laser printer. You will save zillions on ink! I can still remember in school when we used to wait for the teacher to leave the room and send all our car posters to print lol!

    On top of that you can buy the cheapest colour printer to have connected to your computer so you can print any special pieces of work a student might produce in colour.
    They say you can't put a value on life... but I live it at half price!

    I waited until the Samsung 1610 b/w laser printer was available on special offer. You can pick one up for £50 at the right time, but rather than e-buyer, I'd go Savastore if I was you. Value for money-wise, a lot better value than the rip-off inkjet printers, but it all depends what you are going to use it for, posters for the wall or word documents etc. As for ink, well the official cartridge can be a hefty price but a lot of people seem to buy refills and fill the old cartridge......alright if you know what you're doing......

    If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.

    Our local Asda had loads of all-in-ones (hp, lexmark, epson etc.) and they were all quite cheap - but can't remember the exact price tho.

    Don't get a Lexmark - you will regret it later with the price of cartridges/ink!

    Try to get a Cannon Pixma range as replacement's cartridges are between £4 to £7 - these models ( I have two ) when one ink cartridge runs out you can still continue using it with the remainder colours - not like the cheap printers that stops!! Your find the cheapest printers will have the most expensive ink catridges to replace - eg Our last HP printer Black was £21 & colour £29 - I sold it on and invested into the Canon - try searching on Ebay for a Brand New one in the box - shouldn't be more then £40 for last years model CANON PIXMA 4200
