Cheap all in one printer that doesn't fleece you on ink?
Comments

I have two SX415, a PX650, two PX800FW and an R2880, all are run with compatibles, a big difference between genuine and compatibles is the genuine ones have anti clogging agents so you should be able to run a printer very occasionally without needing to clean the heads etc. I tend to print a nozzle check if a printer has not been used for a while.
The compatibles for most of the printers are from pro jet, ukdvdr and bigpockets are a couple of the suppliers

If only printing occasionally, using genuine inks won't break the bank
My only other comment is whether an all in one is needed, for reliable scanning quality, the SX515W and above are worth considering. If only occasional scanning is required it may be more cost effective to use a local print shop.0 -
Referring to what Santa has said, through Amazon you can buy original Epson cartridges for the SX415 for £7.50+ per cartridge. Having had trouble with compatibles I stick with originals.0
