Most printer/scanners aren't terribly expensive, the cost is in the replacement inks. Most companies expect to make most of their return on selling you their own inks. That being said, I'm partial to Canon, Epson or Hewlett/Packard printers. They all work fairly well, and have ink and/or accessories at all major stores. Look for other things that you may find important (i.e.: print speed, separate ink cartridges for each color, ability to read camera memory sticks, etc.)
