I don't have a computer or wi fi at home (I know...) but I need a simple printer with Bluetooth or similar wireless connections so I can print A4 sheet music from my phone or tablet. Both are Samsung so Android system. I don't want to spend more than £50-60 if possible . Thankyou.

The HP ones with instant ink subscription are worth it if they are still doing the free tier. Doesn't seem to matter which model.

It's not the printer price you need to watch for but the replacement cartridges

All printers are designed by Satan so it doesn’t matter which one you buy because it will be a total nightmare to set up and fail to work at every opportunity. Even my software engineer husband hates them all with a fiery passion.

Thanks all. The printer isn't likely to be used more than half a dozen times a month so I'm not too concerned about the cost of ink, cartridges etc.

That is why the instant ink is good - if you can get the free tier then you get up to 15 pages free per month. No ongoing costs then.

I agree capitals - I have no idea why they are so finickity. Ours works fine from our phones but just stubbornly ignores all computers. DH says it's something to do with wifi (our computers are wired instead).

My theory is that it's because they act as a portal bridging the internet with real life and this is unholy.

Epson XP4105.
I buy non branded ink from First Call-much cheaper.
