Go for an Epson, you can get good compatible inks from a variety of sources. Bear in mind though that some of the very cheap brands will start to disappear now that Epson have started legal action (won`t get rid of all of them though...).

Give serious thought to what you want the printer for. Do you need a colour facility?
We realised we almost never printed anything in colour these days (with online photo printing so cheap and quick) and switched to a black and white Brother Laser printer for about £90. Over a year now and it`s still running on the initial drum/toner, and even when it does run out it won`t be ridiculously expensive. Great quality for letters and fine for printing off online receipts, multimap directions etc which is all we needed it for.
If you don`t need the colour then a B&W Laser may be a more cost effective option than a colour inkjet.
