Above.

I think my HP 360's finally packed in, I was printing a multi-page document this morning and it gave up after the first page! I have plenty of paper and I replaced both ink carts last Friday, so they're not the issue.

I saw an affordable Canon Printer/Scanner/Copier on Amazon this morning, £35 but I need to speak to Dad/my Brother before I invest in PC related hardware even though I need a Printer/Scanner for work related stuff.

Can anyone recommend a good one for sub £100 that has cheapish ink carts? The HP ink's £33 for black and tri-colour, I have a monthly subscription on Amazon, the next ink's coming this Tuesday as I recall.

But I don't think lack of ink's the issue at hand?

If you "need" it for work, get your employer to fund it.

I hate these organisations that don't provide tech that is necessary for you to do your job, and I bet you have to pay for the ink as well.

I'd ask about that but because they're a Charity, I doubt they'd have the funding to buy anything but a cheap "Bargain bin" Printer.

Well I asked work about buying me a new printer, as predicted, they don't have the funds.

Oh well, I'm popping across to Tesco in a bit for some shopping, I'll have a look there.

as far as i know, printers don't have cheap ink

they're a racket designed to sell you very expensive ink

To be fair, buying a cheap Printer for about £35 from Tesco's false economy because you'd pay nearly as much again or more for the Ink carts.

I need a new Printer again, I replaced the old one from Amazon last year, HP Envy 6720, but it no longer works, I think it's still under warranty but Amazon customer services are a pain to get hold of.

I ordered a new Printer on Amazon, an HP 2670.
