I bought a new printer because my old one (which always annoyingly had no scanner) is going to a worthy new home.

I was just going to get something similar to the old one (a cheap HP), and then I spotted the cheapest HP Office Jet - a small office machine, with 3 years warranty, more economical inks (though I shall probably use Instant Ink), a proper document feeder (for scanning & copying), 250 sheet input tray.

All very nice, and just what a small office would need. If you'd have asked me beforehand how much such a thing would have cost, I'd have probably thought that £250 would be good value. But it was only £90 (HP 6960).

I suppose that's like the £30 printers being subsided by expensive cartridges, but even more so (because you'd potentially be using more cartridges on an office machine)... ...and then they invented Instant Ink (and it has a 4 month free trial, too).
