Can anyone recommend a printer?

[MrsHelsBels74]

Looking for a cheap(ish) wireless printer. Any recommendations? Also relatively cheap ink costs too, anyone?

Ooh! I was just about to start same thread.... can I piggy back yours instead please ?

[MrsHelsBels74]

Sure, join the party

Not a kodak esp 5200. All that advertising about cheap printing- i don't get anything near the number of pages the cartridge says I should, and the paper jams regularly.

I have an epson stylus sx235w was peanuts in tesco last year and I get ink off amazon that isn't real epson ink but does the job and it's cheap enough too.

not wireless but have a cheapo epson too.. the older models take generic ink and that makes a big difference in price. Got the ink for a pound a cartidge off ebay.
Mine's an epson stylos color 880.

Ooh, I'm after a new printer too. Preferably one that works with iPad too. Freddiemisagreatshag - was it easy to set up the wireless on that epson printer? I've just been looking at reviews and a few complaints about it being tricky to figure out.

[freddiemisagreatshag]

It's was dead easy to set up.

[BackforGood]

Thanks ladies.... any more experiences or do we go with Epson ?

[freddiemisagreatshag]

there it is

and an example of ink

[BackforGood]

Thanks Freddie - I'm particularly liking the price of the ink, compared with what we paid last time.

[freddiemisagreatshag]

I buy el cheapo ink and it's grand. I usually buy a multi-pack, and then get some extra blacks - if you put ink sx235w into amazon there's loads.

[buckingfollocks]

thanks Freddie - just reserved the printer from Argos and ordered the inks on Amazon!

[freddiemisagreatshag]

Let me know how you get on! If you get stuck with the installing gimme a shout

Bought Epson SX405 about 3 years ago, even professional had problem with wireless installation, and still unable to enlarge/reduce print sizes, but it's reliable and good with generic inks.

[buckingfollocks]

just got it installed and printed out the test page - woop!

[freddiemisagreatshag]

Woo hoo!! And it worked OK? And setting it up was OK?

[buckingfollocks]

yes it was a doddle actually. Is now sitting very neatly under my TV and DVD player ready to go!
So glad as have been getting by for ages without a printer and can now print out vouchers for days out and my dd can use it for her homework, can also print stuff to help youngest DS learn his phonics. Very pleased, thanks for the recommendation

[freddiemisagreatshag]

I really do think it's a fab wee printer. Cheap to buy and cheap to run.

Awh I'm fair chuffed you like it that's made my day
