I am after a wireless all in one printer. Not bothered about make, but must be wireless. Budget is sun £100, but replacements inks to be reasonable, dont mind compatable carts but must be reasonably priced

Many Thanks in advance.

    Looking at the reviews for your price range the Kodak ESP7 seems to be a good option but it is just over budget. You might be able to find one online on budget.

    Or connect a normal printer/all-in-one to a wireless router, or use a wifi or bluetooth module connected to a normal printer.

    Then you are not limited to the few wireless printers available

    Kodak ESP5250

    Epson SX515W

    Kodak has the cheaper ink though, but you can get epson compatibles quite cheaply too
    Squirrel!

    I think he meant something like a Belkin Wireless USB Print Server, these are good if you just want to print but it won't work with the scanner. Never heard of a blue tooth one though.

    I bought a Epson SX515W in the sale after Christmas at John Lewis for £69.99 an am pleased with it. Check Epson's website as they sometimes have offers and reduce the prices of their printers.

    I've just binned my Kodak 5100 after 16 months. It's been through two printheads, both provided by Kodak FoC. They offered me a discount on a newer model (5250 only ~£15 what I could get it from Amazon for) but looking around online the newer models still seem to have the reliability problems with the same printhead design.

    I've just got a HP Photosmart Wireless - £80 Amazon, you can get a 4780 for about £50 which is the older model - same shell but with a combined colour ink cartridge, newer one has separates. Was very easy to set up and print quality is very good. HP not the cheapest ink but I can get it for a price online I'm ok with.

    This was HPs response to Kodak's claims about cheapest ink! Must say I never really noticed it being more efficient with ink, just that the cartridges are a bit cheaper.

    I will say from experience that when the Kodak printers first launched, there were a huge number of returns on them...ranging from not switching on, to discovering bits hanging off inside the box.

    Since then though, they seem to have got a lot better.
