Have you tried joining a local freecycle group. You often find things like that are being offered for nothing.

Hi, I would reccomend the Lower-end 'Lexmark' usually about £30. They do the job a treat. (If poss buying online ususually works out cheaper.)

They are colour printers. How they work is...
-They take 2 cartdirges: COLOUR (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow inks) and BLACK for standard B&W prints.

The way lexmark work... They include a Colour cartrdige, BUT NO BLACK!!! so either all your colour runs out just to print black, or you have to purchase a BLACK cartridge, for about £30 the same price as the printer.
... shop around to buy a un-branded one, or one from a refill shop, or buy one and a refill kit....

What i do is.... BUY A BLACK REFILL KIT about £5, will last loads of refills, prob good for over year.

Also Lexmark, DOES NOT include a USB cable (A to
if you purcahse one from the big stores, currys dixons pcworld, they charge A BOMB! £12ish, buy online or in a independent shop for a few quid, (once i saw them in poundland Alternatively share the USB cable from another item u may already have. - remember A to B, slot on one side for PC, square on the otherside for Printer.

So in summary.... get a cheap - USB cable / Refill kit / and cartrdige
Buy a cheap Lexmark , and for about £40/50 you are set to print for the whole year.

(If you see other good deals also check out price of cartdiges/whats included/and usb cable)

Might not be the best solution, but hope it helps... Hypernetics

I bought an epson c46 for £30 delivered from Comet I think it was.

I get the ink from 7.dayshop.com for £1.99 for black and colour.
Works a treat.

canon pixma ip1000. Costs around £25/30, but the major bonus is that it's colour and the refills are only £1/£1.20.

Good price, not in stock for home delivery but I found they had them at my local stores.
