New Printer

Hi,
I'm about to start a new job and need to get a new printer, as I will be working from home. I don't have a printer at the mo, so starting from scratch. I will mainly be printing in black and white but will also do the occassional bits in colour for my own use and some photos. I'm not looking to spend to much on it and don't need it be all singing all dancing. Work have supplied me with a scanner, as I will need to scan lots of documents through, so not bothered about having an all-in-one (although wouldn't rule it out). I would prefer it to be wireless, as I only have a laptop. I had bought my kids a HP Deskjet 3050 for at theirs and quite like the look of that, but wonder if there is anything else out there that is better for a similar price.
Thanks

Their colour cartridge is combined so you will need to replace it whenever any of the colours runs out0 -
If you are working from home, why is your employer not providing the printer?0
