Advice please - the cheapest all-in-one flatbed printer

Bougainvillea

Can anyone advise on a very low price scanner/fax/printer/copier that uses cheap ink refills? Its needs to have a flatbed for copying. Or a flatbed scanner/printer/copier without a fax, as I could always get that separately.

I just need one that is easy to set-up as I am not very technical. I don't need high quality printing, but one that will scan etc., without having to download programmes etc. I have a laptop with Windows 7

Thanks

lol you expect all of us to go and do lots of searching for you?

I like to help people with most things but this is just lazy my friend........best thing to do is just look and search sites, Dixons, Comet, PC World etc etc, find the cheapest on each and boom you will get the over all cheapest.

Thank you very much for your helpful replies today.

Actually, I was hoping that my question might have been read by someone who has already bought a printer/fax/scanner and could say if it was any good or not. If anyone has uses a printer/fax that they would recommend, it would good if they could put the details on here.

I've found the HP's that use the front-mounted tanks that pump ink to an internal head are by far the cheapest to run. HP patented a head-cleaning system that sucks the ink into the head's built-in 5ml tanks instead of pumping the ink out onto a catch-tray, so no ink is wasted.
The carts are the 'HP 363' range, and you get 600 pages+ of black text from the standard cart.

There are some very low price HP ones in Tesco & Ryman.
I'm not sure how good they are, but they are cheap!
