PC world had them on special online for £47.68 with free delivery a couple of months back.


I dumped mine for a canon ip8500. Night and day really.

8 inks (£1 each for compatibles that dont block the head) higher resolution, duplex, cd/dvd that works after more than 5 prints, 34 seconds to print a borderless a4 glossy print.


Oh and it appears to use no ink so far

Homebase had come colour printers for £35 last time I was there, didn't come with a USB cable though. Think it was a lexmark.

Hmmmmm,don't be fooled by the Canon status monitor.I thought the same about my IP5000 (Not using any ink) until one day,three out of the five cartridges flashed up saying they were low on ink.I don't think the ink monitoring is done in 'real time'.You seem to get a full status and then a close to empty just nothing in between (Unlike other printers I've owned over the years)
