Cheap decent printer

I'm not sure about the printer but maybe curry's have one? or you could look at amazon?

Rather than a really cheap one, how about investing in a more expensive one what might last longer and be better quality? It all depends how often you print though

I bought a cheap one from Argos and they’re delivering it today - fingers crossed it’s not completely rubbish! We hardly ever use a printer - but when we need it we need it - and this was for some important forms that I absolutely have to post on Tuesday morning, The whole thing has been very stressful, and when my husband was packing up the broken one he spilled black printer ink over my sons rug in his bedroom and we had to throw that away too! What a mess! 

I find its often not the cost of the printer, but the cost of replacement ink thats the problem, some will take generic and therefore cheaper ink cartridges others know and reject them.

I had a kitten that killed my printer, first he pounced on the paper as it was coming out and jammed it up, I sorted that out and then he walloped the ink cartridge as is was shuttling across, it didn't recover from that.

Good to hear!

The printer seems really good - worked fine. It’s also a photocopier apparently. 

A panic buy! It would be hilarious if it wasn’t reality, but I’m glad you got sorted.

These things have a habit of happening at weekends and bank holidays, or perhaps people just remember the bad bits.

I don’t buy much in Argos, but I agree it’s handy and often the prices are ok.

Well if it does the job for now that's enough, if when the ink runs out and it's more expensive that to get new ink than a new machine, you can think about then. I just hate the idea of having a perfectly good printer, or anything else for that matter, that has such expensive peripherals that it's as cheap to throw it away.
