General use inkjet for text documents, sometimes images and maps, some degree of photo printing would be a bonus... £50-70 is my budget So was thinking the Canon ip3/4500.

Any suggestions guys? Cheers
 
I've got the HP DESKJET F2180, only cost me around £40 brand new.

Great little printer with built in scanner and copier.
 
Would Epson printers be an option, the newer models are pretty good and the ink is not that expesive, around 6-10 pounds per cart, plus if you any old printer (working or not) you can trade it in and get a discount on any printer.

I dont this a while ago and got a discount on the DX8400

Heres the link and you can find you local store to trade in if your interested.

If you can stretch to £100 then the bottom of the range colour lasers are much, much cheaper to run long-term, far quicker once the first page is out, and arguably better quality (except photographs). Depending on what you buy (Samsung CLP315) it could be 2 years before you need to put any cartridges in it, and when you do, it's almost cheaper to buy a new printer:rolleyes:

And please don't be confused by the pagecount claims for an inkjet cartridge vs. a toner cartridge - the toner cartridges are sold to businesses who actually count the pages whereas I think the inkjet specifications are written by sci-fi novelists on their day off.
