Hewlett Packard is always a great option, the quality is impeccable. But if you just need to print a few items a day or week, you can find some less expensive models out there that really get the job done as well. I have always used HP, but when my current printer went bad I purchased 3-in-1 Lexmark printer. It works great for my everyday printing, faxing, and copying. Plus, it was about 30%-50% less than HP!! Which makes me happy because in this economy I love saving money.

I like my Kodak printer for the simple fact that ink for it costs much less than it does for a similar HP or Epson. A combo pack of color and black ink can be bought around $25 and if you shop around sometimes less than that. The Kodak Easyshare ESP 5 is a nice middle-of-the-road multifunction printer and not all that expensive by printer standards.

Canon also is highly regarded in the printer market, Their PIXMA series of printers have beaten out the competition in numerous categories. If you don't do a lot of scanning or copying, you can save money (and desktop space) by getting the PIXMA iP4600. This printer comes with Canon's excellent print quality on photos and text without all the extra features. Of course, if you do need a multifunction, Canon has several models to serve that need as well.

You can not go wrong with HP I have this printer and thought I would share it with you! Ofcourse it is alot cheaper now then when I bought it which is a great deal for you! I recommend the HP DeskJet F4480 All In One Printer/Scanner/ Copier at walmart for $69!
It prints in pristine colors and is very swift! If you don't have time but you need to print something fast, then this is what you need to get! It can print 22 pages in less than a minute! Great find
