    Home printer/scanner recommendations requested!

    Right my Epsom sx510w has decided it doesn't want to print black any more.. So I'm trying to come up with a good quality replacement. Only moderate home use, not commercial at all.

    Purchase price >£200
    A4 combi scanner preferred
    USB/SD slots
    Wi-Fi
    Good quality photo printing as I have a bridge camera I'm getting used to.
    Reliable
    Most importantly, low running costs and easily obtainable ink.

    Do I need 'cloud printing?'..'m not massively tech savvy , how would it benefit me?

    Can anyone suggest any up-to-date review sites?

    C-net or Techradar might be worth looking, although being just a printer you'd wonder how much effort was put into the review??

    Maybe look for a photography site or something, they might review printers and look in depth at print quality so enthusiasts know which one prints the best images.

    I have a Canon Pixma MX350 that seems quite reliable and not too expensive to run. It's a multifunction device - Scanner / Copier / Printer that also is WiFi and includes Cloud Print / Apple Airprint from suitable iOS devices.

    Was quite cheap to buy and I am not a heavy user.

    When I got it, I couldn't decide whether to get an HP where the Pinthead is part of the cartridge (If it gets clogged, replace the cartridge) or one where the printhead is built into the printer (if it gets clogged generally throw the printer away)
