New printer time

I've all but had it with my old Epson CX3200. It refuses to print properly no matter how much I play with the cartridges and has a mind of its own when it comes to feeding the paper. I cannot be bothered with it any more so it's time for a new one. I do a lot of a lot of colour photocopying so I need the printer to be:
RELIABLE
An all in one unit (scanner, printer, photocopier)
Cheap but good cartridges
Ink that lasts quite a while (I do about 6 full colour scans a day)
Speed would be nice but not essential
Don't need super mega photo quality but will need something half decent
A good, reliable brand (Not Epson or Lexmark who are both **** in my experience)

Any suggestions peeps? :)

EDIT: Sorry, budget not confirmed yet since I won't be paying, but let's say £150ish for now.

go the HP way, most reliable, easy to get re-filled ink, or compatables, just do research on the cartridges as HP can charge a heck of a lot for a tiny ammount.
If u can get a printer that uses 56 black(19ml) and 57 colour(17ml accross all 3 colours) tri-colour. these are HP's older cartrides but are reliable. Or the 344colour(15ml accross all 3 colours) and 339black(21ml) these are newer cartridges, but slightly more expensive for new 1's.
not sure on price for printers, but look for either of those cartrdge types then u'll b sorted.
if ** looking for something with indivdual cartridges then the only HP 1's I know of are the 363series, there's 6 cartridges in that set, Black(2 sizes, small with around 10ish ml and high capacity with 20odd ml) then cyan, megenta, cyan, light magenta and light cyan, these contain anywhere between 3 and 7ml, it's not a lot but they can be changed as required
 
Another vote for a all in one hp printer here. Used to have a epsom printer but have now got a hp one and have not looked back . hp is so much better!
