Good Morning
My canon printer has gone to printer heaven and i am after a new
all in one wi fi printer, am looking at the HP 6510 £90 from amazon. Is there anything anyone else can recommend?
It is only used to print for home use just order confirmations, maps,emails etc etc.
Not interested in printing quality photos as i use costco at 7p a print.

I would get another Canon-if you can find one,. The AIO Pixma models all seem to be out of stock at present and new supplies are not due for a month or so-does anyone know what the supply issue is with these? I've been trying to find a Pixma MG6250 for weeks now.
I would not recommend an HP. I bought a Photosmart 7510 as a substitute for the non-available Canon. The first suffered a printhead failure on day one and refused to power up, it's replacement suffered a seized carriage during set up and is also being returned. I've refused a further replacement as I now have no confidence in this model.

Amazon have the 6250 at the moment, though at £180 probably more than you have seen them for

Thanks, but that's about £50 more than I have seen them for elsewhere. Many of the online retailers do claim to have them in stock, but in reality do not.

I bought an HP Envy 100 last year. It wasn't cheap but I got a fair price by looking on line. I'm a novice and HP's technical support helped me to set it up wirelessly. It's been great - and I really am poor - technically. I'm delighted with it and I recommend it.

I hope you get something you're really pleased with.

A Canon Pixma MG6250 as mentioned or HP Photosmart 5510 for bargain-basement value

1 recommendation. before buying the HP printer, look at the price of the cartridges that it uses first. This is the most expensive part of a printer, and ask yourself a few questions.

1. what am i going to print.
2. how much is it going to cost to print
3. can i use compatibles / refills
4. do i do a lot of printing.

and after doing that decide to stick with a canon, or switch to a epson. using ebay for ink prices, find a printer you like, search for the cartridges using model of printer + ink, to get an idea.
small note: With epson printer make sure the ink is compatible it comes with the chip7 or version 7 chip.

Just bought the hp 3050a from tesco, £35, pleased with it. The ink is resonable, its wifi, has its own email address, so friends abroad etc can email straight to printer, its like recieving a letter! And is compatible with an ipad with airprint. Ive always had hp, my last one was 10 years old and never had a problem with it, just the inks were getting expensive, £60 tp replace them all!
