    OUTCRY: HEWLETT PACKARD !! I'm with Brain_damage on that one - I've been using them for years and years. For reliability, they are the best there is. Buy your ink cartridges online from www.inkcycle.co.uk - they cost the same but last two or three times as long, which, looking at it the other way round, makes them 50-66% cheaper!

    I have a Lexmark 6150, ALL-in one.. I Dont Recommend you buy it.. Its prob... About $149 CAD.. on sale. I paid $249, and the ink is about $50 for Black, $60 for color. (Brand name Stuff).

    I used to have an Epson c60 it was awful..the ink would dry up blocking the jets if you never used it for over a few days , noisy and the ink never lasted all that long, eventually it broke down so i binned it.

    Ive now got a Lexmark AIO x1180 its brill ,quiet n fast,leave it for a couple of weeks and the ink is still fresh,no blockages,never had to clean jets and the ink never seems to go down.Cheap to buy too and its a scanner and a copier which is a bonus.

    Epsons might be better if you pay more buck but their entry level printer was utter rubbish.

    www.inkfactory.co.uk is a good place for cheap ink and you can usually get BOGOFoffers although it prolly wont be original ink
