    Right, I'm looking for a new printer. Any suggestions would be welcomed.


    Things it must have:
    - card reader printing
    - photo printing (with a special tray for standard size photo paper)
    - low cost cartridge replacements (especially on the photos)
    - a scanner
    - photocopy function
    - usb connection

    Things that would be dam useful on it:
    - bluetooth printing support (send from a phone or bluetooth device)
    - ethernet connection for connection to a network


    Any suggestions (with links to it for sale if possible) are welcomed! The usual lark of Ireland friendly websites or what not - I ain't paying eur80 for delivery!


    Yeah, so I didn't give a budget on what I'm willing to spend. I'm a little out of touch on printers at the moment so I'll see what some of the suggestions yield in the way of prices.


    Cheers

    Either one of these can do all you asked , including priniting from a card reader without the PC being turned on , I have the 340 and have no problems with it , shipping is about 13 euro to Ireland.
    Inks are in at least 6 different cartridges which is cheaper in the long run, especially if you go for compatibles.

    http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=318732&view=detailed looks good. Will that allow me to connect a usb bluetooth dongle so that I can bluetooth photos to it for printing?

    Also, it has a specific tray for "standard photo size" paper so I can load up and walk off ?

    Works as a photocopy with one button press too, yeah ?

    Yes it has a tray that can take standard photo size paper , will take any photo paper up to A4 size , it has a capacity of 100 sheets of photo size 6 x 4 paper .

    It will print from a bluetooth USB dongle yes , the Wife uses this feature all the time , thought the picture quality from the phone is entirely dependant upon the phone ,

    Sorry but it wont photocopy , I overlooked that in your original requirement list , no there would need to be some kind of scanner built in for that and that type of thing only comes with Multifunctional devices or MFD's for short , typically a fax , printer , scanner , all in one.
    Sorry about that.

    This would be the type of thing you are after but I dont have one so cant comment on the Bluetooth part , it does everything else though ,
