I`ve got the Epson Cx3200 and am pleased to bits with it. Borderless colour photo printing, photo-copying in B&W and Colour, and Scans too. Oh and has a LCD display.
Currently £86 online at PC World and £3.49 & £3.99 for cartridges from www.inkraider.co.uk.
Wouldn`t do without mine.

Do not do as I did, and buy a Lexmark, great printer and cheap to buy, with good results. However the ink carts are very expensive to buy. so much so, that it is cheaper to buy another printer than replace them !!!!!!!

Good advice..i almost bought a lexmark from argas a few weeks ago for £30 which was reduced from £69 just looked a little flimsy! :o

I honestly dont know. All I can tell you is that the Epson Cx3200 is bloody great value!! Cant tell you anything about the HP2175 except that the cheapest price comparison on Dealtime is £155, which is almost double the price. Which basically means you are paying an extra £69 just for a memory card reader!

After checking loads of reviews I have ordered a Epson Stylus Photo 830u. Have a look around the review pages it comes out as a pretty good printer.
The best price I could find is £69-31 inc vat & delivery.
This was from microwarehouse.co.uk.
I had an email from them earlier this week saying they except to have them in stock Friday 23rd. here`s hoping
sorry about no proper link like most of you guys seem to do, I will have to get my son to show me how to do it

Ditto on all what Pete has said above regerding the CX3200 excellent printer scanner and copier for the price and does a very good job of photos on photo paper.
