We have the HP 970CXi deskjet in the office, pretty cheap and does double sided too.
We thrash it here, and it's been very reliable - is now about 1 year old. Uses cartridges at a reasonable rate. No paper handling problems, even double sided.
Just my 2p's worth - I used to work for HP but not anymore so I don't care if you don't buy an HP printer anymore :-)

Sharp AJ6010. £199 I think. Seperate ink tanks latest machine in their range, out does the competition in photo mode. Whose name resembles an old style artillery piece.

Dabs.com have a lexmark Z52 at £65 plus VAT, normally about £120(inc)
depends what your after really
Ive looked at lots of "best buy" printers, and there are often a matter of opinion (IMHO)

I have been looking at this very thing - 'Which' recommended the Canon s800 for photos but it costs £330 in Dixons. Next best seemed to be the HP P1000 which can also print directly from a smartmedia/camedia etc card with out a pc if needed. Also is as fast as the 970 for text etc. Can get online for £184 at various places.
If need cheaper then Epson 790 is what our IT guys recommend as it's only £120 and gives pretty good results.
Personally I think the hp's are better at Photos though.

Got an HP950 - absolutely excellent 
, for the equivalent money I've not come across a printer to rival the HP. My dad also just bought the 930 (90 quid), same photo quality just slightly slower.
Don't work for HP just well happy blah blah blah.......
