Can anyone please recommend me a printer that costs around or less than £85? :)

Are there any wireless printers available within my budget or are they over my budget? :o

I would like it to be black or dark colour to match the rest of my PC please :o
 
If you can affor genuine ink then I would recommend a Canon, if not stear clear of them as all the new models use patented cartridges so there will never be 3rd party one available.

Thanks for the replies :)

sgx.saint, it's against the forum rules to mention competitors :o

I was looking at the HP website and came across the HP Deskjet 6980. Looking around, it's been out for over a year but it seems to look like what I'm after and is this a recommended printer?

Are there any newer printers available? :)

I'm not sure if I am allowed to link or mention other sites, but if you were to say look at the ******* website and the HP Photosmart 2575 which retails at £62.99. Pay by Google checkout and get £10 off as well.

Top notch printer, siver and black, and its a usb/network printer so although not directly wireless, you can plug it say into a Wireless Router somewhere else and still print from another room etc.

Ooops, I didn't mentioned anything did I? *cough* .... *quickly edits previous post* :)

Anyway, beyond what I recommended, I'm not really an avid printer fanatic so couldn't really advise you further. Although the 2575 Photosmart is a great printer!

The Canon Pixma range of printer are allways quite highly talked about between my friends,

this ones a little over your budget at £106 but it's what I'd go for if I had a £100 notes lying around,

CANON PIXMA MP600

They also have an official shop on eBay selling new, used and refurb products normally complete with a warranty as well!
 
If you google a bit you will generally find that Canon and Epson are considered better quality printers than HP (or at least that was the case about 9 months ago when I last got one)

However, don't get an Epson they cost an absolute fortune to run as they drink ink like anything. I use a Canon mainly for business use but also for printing the odd photo and I'm on my 2nd set of cartridges since I bought it, Pixma printers (as previously mentioned) are a good one to go for.

Nice printer, I did consider looking at all in one printers too :)

However it doesn't offer wireless connectivity :(

Canon offers a wireless printer which is the PIXMA iP4000R but it's older than the HP I was looking at :(

I guessing it's cheaper to buy a printer with wireless connectivity built in rather than buying one of those print servers and a new printer together?
 
I have a Cannon iP4300 and am loving it :D

Fast printing, quiet, different options on where to load the paper, + simple.

Only downside is that its pretty pricey and only prints, so i got a cheapo HP Deskjet F380 for 30squidish for all the scanning, faxing, etc. (but its noisy + slow :D)
 
Thanks for the replies, currently I'm leaning towards the Canon PIXMA MP600 however there's a wireless version of it which is almost double the price, as an alternative I'm thinking of sharing the printer using a home network instead :)
