I have an old HP 5552 which is going strong,but just use now for basic printing and thumbnails etc,but did purchase last year an HP Photosmart 8450.The reason for this particular model,is one just replaces the cartridges,not individual inks.So the ink heads are replaced each time.Not economical for lots of print outs,cheaper to use Photobox,but the quality of prints from this machine is excellent.
When I asked for info re printers on BF most suggested Epson ,a few mentioned Canon,but I would not change from HP.Purchase the cartridges from MX2,their prices are very competetive,and service is spot on,no probs such I have had read about from 7 day shop.But the price is somewhat over your budget ,Christine.
