[peanut]

I just don't get on with printers. They die on me all too easily for some reason.

That said, as needs must I got one of those (quite cheap) HP 2600s, and signed up with their instant ink subscriptions (you get a few months free with it). It's not for everyone obviously, but for £1.99 a month for 50 pages worth with unused pages carried over the next month seems quite a cheap alternative way round things if you don't like paying for the ink.

But so far the printer has been excellent, so I have no problems in recommending it.
