Printer with memory card slot?

knightstyle

My dear BIL has an old Epson printer he uses and it is faulty. He does not use computers, just prints pictures direct from his camera memory card.
He asked me to recommend/get a replacement that will not cost the earth for the ink for him but I am not finding it easy as he has a limited budget, under £70 would be good. 
Any ideas?

• Canon PIXMA TS5050 All-In-One Inkjet:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-PIXMA-TS5050-Inkjet-Printer/dp/B01M06KK9D//
• 20 Ink Cartridges compatible with Canon PGI-570 / CLI-571:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cartridges-compatible-PGI-570-CLI-571-MG-5750/dp/B01JLGWGEQ/

The above printer has an SD slot, therefore worth checking what type of memory card your BIL uses before purchasing.

Thanks, I had seen that but was hoping for something nearer his budget.
Had a thought, maybe one with a slot for a memory stick plus a card reader. Would that work?

Sorry about that, didn't realise the price was so high - too many Baileys I think!

Thanks anyway.

Way over the top price.

I think Poppellerants' post was a classic look on Amazon or Ebay and assume they are always cheaper rather than do some quick research and thus give useful advice.

Actually they are more expensive on ebay which is why I discounted that model to begin with...
£95 refurbished,  £102 and £130 new!!!!!

It's because some people are taking advantage of current supply issues in order to make a big profit, hence a printer that never sold for more than £79.99 on sale for £180.  Also the previous generation Canon printers which take 570 and 571 cartridges are more popular due to the current 580 and 581 cartridges being more expensive both in original and compatible.

^^^ Interesting!
