So my old HP photosmart has finally given up the ghost... Its been an absolute pain for ages, but I have kept pressing on as I haven't really been working much (kids and all). Now I need to get a new one, are there any recommendations that don't cost an absolute fortune to buy/ink. I am only part-time working so on a bit of a budget.
No specific recommendation, but something I will always point out:
Unless your printing requirements include lots of photos, for which inkject printers tend to produce better results, then a laser printer is more economical.
The printer is a higher initial outlay than an inkjet, and toner cartridges tend to be more pricey than ink cartridges - but the cost per printed page is usually a lot cheaper with a laser.
The downside is that if you need colour, lasers can cost a lot of desk space. And be heavy.

If you've got a spare £50 then I would recommend an epson printer. They are relaiable, and although once an avid HP fan, I have used epson for at least 12 years, and swear by them
This one is £50 but if you can afford £22 more I would go for the XP620 (I have the slightly older 615)
I used to spend loads of money on ink cartridges until I signed up for HP Instant Ink. I can't recommend it enough. Has saved me loads on cartridges and you don't even need to buy/order ink. It just turns up at your door before you need it. You must have "HP Instant Ink-compatible" printer though. I've been using this one (HP Envy) from Curry's and love it. Might not be to everyone's taste, but on a budget I've found it so much better than my previous two:
