The Canon PIXMA MP560 gets some really good reviews although it may be out of your price range.

There is currently a £30 cashback offer on so will reduce the price to a reasonable £85.

Was going to say we love our new Canon MP560, but it might be too expensive. Looks like someone beat me to it!

It is an all in one scan, copy & print though, look at their other models. I had a Canon IP4000 which I really loved so I brought Canon again. These were both "Which best buys" and I have been very happy. I was considering an IP3000 too, but decided on an all-in-one in the hope that my hubby would do his own copying. He doesn't.

You have to consider not only the initial cost, but also the ink if you are going to print photo's. I like the fact that these Canons have seperate ink tanks for each colour, so less waste. Personally I only print a few pictures at home, it just eats the ink supply and is not cost effective. I wait until I have 200+ and then look for an offer where I can get them below 5p each.

I get my compatible cartridges from ink2u.co.uk, they seem to be really competitive and as an added bonus, I am supporting a local business, as they are only 5 miles away.
