Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Printer recommendations
My old faithful Epson printer/scanner/photcopier is defunct and have been looking at what's available out there- quite a lot.
I won't need to do much printing etc in the future so don't want a heavy duty one but do need a replacement for my old one, for occasional printing and copying etc.
Seems they are all wireless nowadays but I want something easy to set up and use, as low tech as possible and smaller the better.
Any recommendations?

Can you say anything about your planned spend, what functions you'll want and what sort of printing you'll use it for?

hi Hugh, I'm not planning on doing a lot of printing, scanning or photocopying. Those days when I wrote books and needed to are gone. But I want those options for a Just a few personal things now and then. So, I really don't need a big thing, something relatively small and at the lower price range plus low tech options such as USB port. Thanks!

For occasional use I'd suggest considering laser rather than injket. Nothing to dry out or clog up.
Despite the proliferation of wifi I'd assume they all still have USB, but worth checking the specs.

Thanks Ian for your recommendation. I'm certainly checking for the USB port, many still do but some don't

I have a Canon Pixma G650 which I’ve been very happy with. I’ve just checked Which? magazine and for low-cost printers, they think that the cheaper Canon Pixma is “fantastic”. Like mine, this one is also a refillable tank printer, which means that the ink costs are low. The only negative comment Which? Magazine have about the model is that it doesn’t have some of the features of more expensive printers, but it sounds like you’re willing to forgo those.

Thanks Hugh for your recommendation. I've been looking at the Canon Pixma ones, keep returning to this option. They are a very good price and not too big or fancy. I don't need lots of features. Hearing from someone who actually has one and is happy with it really helps me make my mind up!
