    budget around 100


    not too pushed about print quality or colour.

    Must have scan facility.

    Would like wireless but beggars cant be choosers.

    easy to get cartridges /generics/refills.

    Hi,,,,I bought HP Envy 5530 in Currys recently think i paid 80 euro ,,i see its reduced now to 69 euro,,so far i think its great used it to scan documents and fast at printing,,best thing is it is wireless,so once you have everything set up,away you go,i checked price of refills before i decided to buy and they are cheaper then most around 32 i think.

    Cool, I caught a glimpse of a Cannon wifi one in Lidl tomorrow so I can compare and contrast.

    Hi Jimlynch123 , I took your advice and went for the HP envy 5530 in the end.

    There was another contender in Curry's/PC World if anyone is interested (better than the one on offer from Lidl since Monday) It's a Cannon Pixma 3250 for €54.99 http://www.pcworld.ie/product/pixma-mg3250-wireless-allinone-inkjet-printer/315048/400.0.0 . It actually has a better print quality than the Envy 5530 but I had a cannon before and just wanted to try a different brand. Cannon's are a bit more clunky and noisy where as this HP is a bit quieter and a little easier to set up.

    Wireless is great and you can also download a HPePrint app to print from your phone/tablet.. it's a bit wierd that you can't select to specify what pages you can print from though (you have to print the whole document.. but you can edit the document and deltete the relevant pages out and then print!).

    Hi glad it worked out for you,,and yes i find it very quiet and wireless is way to go,with HP e-print being able to print no matter where you are can be handy.As far as I,m aware before i send to print you can alter what pages you want printed..On left hand side there are options to change destination printer and under that it says,,, pages " all" is default and under that if you click on space you can select what pages you want printed.,,,,,,,,,,Hope this is of help to you
