The MiL needs a new colour printer. She doesn't want to spend a lot, but would prefer to have something that's wireless capable. Anyone got any recommendations? There's an olivetti one she's seen at around £55, so I think that's roughly what she's looking to spend.
Cheers

I don't know of a wireless printer, but I don't think you can go wrong with an Epson or a Canon: looking toward the cost of the buying them then the cost of refilling them. As long as it's not Lexmark  |

I once listened to Currys advice. He said:
Go forth, and buy a HP.
So I did, and you know what? That miserable bugger was right! my HP is by far the BEST cheap color printer/scanner/photocopier I have EVER owned, and Ive owned at least a DOZEN cheap printers over the past years. The HP has lasted over a year, it looks good, it still works as if it was NEW and has been moved, dropped, knocked etc (Ive moved house 3 times since owning it) and it still prints TOP NOTCH.
Go on, go buy a HP, I did, and I didnt regret it.
Its a HP PSC 1406 All-in-one in case you were wondering, but they dont sell it in the UK.

Mine isn't wireless but cost £40 (was discounted from £100 at the time. I think someone made a mistake) - Epson RX425 Scanner/copier/printer photo printer (a4 photos come out stunning), reads off several memory cards, flatbed scanner/copier, and individual cartridges so you only pay for what you need. Downside to most cheapy printers is the colour cartridge contains all 3 colours so if you use too much red you need a new cartridge regardless of other colour usage.

From my past experience - Crap drivers and very expensive consumables. |

I like HP, but I found the ink was expensive compared to Epson/Canon, but not as expensive as Lexmark.

You could always try a reputable IT company... |
