Some help Please:Printer

Hi,

Can someone please help.

I am interested in a printer and scanner for home use. I will use it on weekends only and I will classify myself as a light user. I also want low cost Black catridge refills.

My budget is £35.

I want something that I can use out of the box and which include the wires and a catridge.

Is it possible to get something decent at that price? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance

    This looks a good buy, in your price range as well and according to the discription, your supposed to get £120 worth of ink vouchers as well.

    Sorry, just noticed that you will need to purchase a USB lead for this.

    These days it is easier to find cheap printers compared to a few years ago when everything was still in the £100+ price range.

    Try this one for example:

    Hewlett Packard Deskjet F2480 Printer (Print, Copy And Scan)
    http://www.superstoresearch.com/shopping/products/24347103/computers/printers/hewlett-packard-deskjet-f2480-printer-print-copy-and-scan.html

    I would not concern myself too much over whether it includes a usb cable or not, because you can get those for about a quid now anyway and you want to make sure you can get the best all in one printer within your price range as the first priority.

    I've noticed that Morrisons have started doing some really good offers on a selected number of items every other week, it varies and is limited time only, like for example the other time they had a Ronson 1 million candle power light that usually retails for £20 for a mere £4.. and they often have deals going on electricals including a printer as I recommended one for my sister as Morrisons had an all-in-one printer scanner copier and wifi for about £50 when all the electrical stores like Comet Currys Argos etc were doing it for £200 range.

    I now make it a habit to check that aisle for any other deals whenever I'm doing the grocery shopping.
