:confused: Please can anyone recommend a cheap, decent all in one printer for home use that does not cost a fortune in ink cartridges? I've been looking at the cheap H.P. ones in Tesco, but I don't want to get one that costs a fortune to run. Any advice very gratefully received.

    Canon MP210 is around £40 and there is a £20 cashback scheme available at the moment.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    If you're going to use original cartridges, you might want to take a look at the (IIRC) January Which? report - the magazines should be available at any public library.

    The report had an estimated 3-year running cost for ink, and the order from best to worst was Canon, Epson, HP and (by a long way the most expensive) Lexmark. This was their summary for 3 years of "average" use:

    Canon: £198
    Epson: £282
    HP: £548
    Lexmark: £1,494

    They also tested "compatible" cartridges, and the results varied a lot from make to make.
