    I use a Brother DCP-340CW printer.

    Very easy to setup, use and refills are under £10.00 per set on ebay.

    Cost about £100.00 approx six months ago from Staples.
  • If your printer is conntected to your desktop PC upstairs, locate the Printer & Faxes option usually on start menu, find your printer in the window, right click & select sharing. Share the printer so it appears with a hand under it. It should then appear on you laptops printers & faxes options. I assume you use XP
