    you need a printer, but some will let you request a coupon by post.

    don't get epson printer as you can't recycle their cartridges, check freecycle as people give theirs away when they upgrade.

    and you can always buy cartridges at carboots or get them refilled cheaply or even try the compatibles on ebay.

    don't forget if you use nectar points to go through nectar for ebay or boots. com / treat street for ebay.
