Best printer??
      #335473 - Thu Mar 01 2007 09:45 AM

Can I get a printer for under £50 with media card slots? mainly to be used for printing photos but also for letters. Cheap cartridges are important as I currently have an all-in-one Lexmark X 1150 which never has ink as cartridges are so expensive. Thought I may as well get a new printer rather than buy two cartridges at full price for the Lexmark .
Also can I still use old printer just for scanning when new printer is connected?
Many Thanks if you have any advice.

Cost of consumables normally goes up as the price of the printer comes down. So if you get a printer for under £50, I'd expect you to be no better off.

I've always found HP to be very economical on ink, though don't know if anything in their range would do the job for you.

Your best option would be IMO is to sell the Lexmark for as much as you can on something like eBay or Amazon or your local paper then put what you make towards the £50 budget and buy another all in one!

Either that or look at refilling the cartridge(s)!
