Printer?. (and brand)

I'm willing to pay a maximum of £100, i need a small, compact one with the best printing quality possible, as my desk is pretty small:

Besides, my Lexmark Z640 doesn't fit in with the style

I'd prefer a popular brand too, i assume this is Epson?.....

Thanks in advance.

HP makes good, reliable printers. I have one that is probably about 6-8 years old... It only prints black and white now, but you get the idea.

I don't know how the $'s relate to pounds, but here's a couple of ideas.

Buy HP Deskjet D2330 Printer(C9081A#B1H), HP color inkjets, HP home inkjets, HP printers, Printers direct from the HP Home & Home Office Store
Buy HP Deskjet D2430 Printer(CB614A#B1H), HP color inkjets, HP home inkjets, HP printers, Printers direct from the HP Home & Home Office Store

Good luck in your printer shopping

Lexmark = Junk. Canon or Epson are the best. I prefer Canon though as they invented ink jet printing and I'm certified by them and also some other manufactures. Did you just want a printer or a all-in-one?

Second that Canon pick-- look for a model with separate ink tanks --as opposed to cartridges. The reason-- cost ... the highest cost for any printer is ink.
With separate tanks--you just replace the ink itself-- not the whole printer head. Plus you replace just the color you need-- and don't lose anything else by doing it.
My HP had a tri-color cartridge so if you wanted to replace one color-- you had to through out the remainder in the other 2 sections-- very wasteful--and expensive

Hehe, your not the first to tell me Lexmark are no good

, which is why ive decided to buy a new printer.

My current lexmark printer doesn't seem to work right. firstly it doesn't read the ink cartridge levels correctly - even if thier new it still reads them as empty, plus, the nozzles get clogged with rubbish very quickly, making print quality terrible.... and the only way to clean them is print a test page, over and over, till they are clear, wasting ink and paper.

I'd actually quite like a printer and scanner, but as you know from the picture, i have very, very little room to play with so i dunno if this would be possible.

Just noticed this on ebay:

eBay.co.uk: Clearance Canon PIXMA MP510 All In One Printer (item 190131092726 end time 10-Aug-07 16:19:36 BST)

What do you guys think?.

Not bad...they are $150.00 US / pretty well-rated / uses the almost the same tanks as my printer / that seller has a great record.

may be worth a shot-- my Canon has been excellent ... quiet / fast /reliable uses every drop of ink from every tank ... NO waste
great print quality--

The model you are looking at has no auto feed (big deal )

Go from me...

(the worst Canon is better than any Lexmark IMO)
