Hi Guys, need some recommendations for a inkjet printer please for my friend...

Currently have a lexmark 3400...which cost about £20...and (I love the comedy in this) the cartridges cost about £20.
it runs out of ink after about 100 pages....and is slow, annoying and noisy.
i am not looking for very high vol....but don't want to be fighting the thing to print stuff either.

What printer(s) would you recommend?
Thanks in advance guys

home printing, has two kids so pics, photos, homework and some printing for his work as well i think (invoices etc).

Oh yes under £200 as well.

i was thinking maybe this HP Officejet Pro 8000, can be had for approx £120. Seems like a good workhorse inkjet for home printing.

he has decided to go with the MG5250,thanks Demon.

Where are you buying your inks from, the cheapest online price i could find after a quick search was £23.08 for a set of 5 cartridges?
