Anyone know a good multi-function printer?

[fishboy25uk]

My pop wants a good photo printer / scanner combo thing.

Here's the requirements:

• Wants good photo printing quality - won't be used for everyday printing

• Scanner will be mainly used for photocopying etc nothing extensive

• He's not too bothered about fax capability (although that would be a plus)

• He downloads all his photos to the PC first so doesn't really need lots of memory slots

And a max of about £70....

Any ideas?

P.S. He doesn't like Lexmark...

Always search first >_<

Doh! Cheers blknoel! I'd done some net searching but forgot to do it on here.

Looks good though. Anyone used any epson or canon multi-function thingys?

I have a Lexmark one and can't fault it, usually the cheapest but they make that up in the price of the ink cartridges!

I've used a Canon before, works perfectly fine. The only thing I don't like about is the fact that I can't use it (at least properly, without hassle) on GNU/Linux.

Went for an HP 3180 in the end. Only &#163;40 and is better than others twice its price. Cheers all for the info!

quite good, recommended

I got a Canon IP2000.

Old model, I know, but you can buy ink cartridges from Morrison's or Tesco for about &#163;3 for both colour and black. Saves a fortune in the long run.

Brilliant photo quality on decent glossy photo paper.

Might be hard to find though - ebay?

I use a Brother DCP-120C. Great little machine and very cheap in (&#163;1.79 each) from www.choicestationery.co.uk
