Ideas for a cheap printer/scanner?

I was looking at one of the Epson Workforce 630 multi.  There's a few in the series that is under $100.

I have a Brother multi from three years ago which cost $129 at the time and the inks are stupidly priced.  The printer was less than a year old and I spent over $80 on inks.

The Epson inks are much lower in price.  The reviews are pretty good so I might get one within the next few weeks.

After my experiences with various brands and types, I would definitely look into whether or not it will print black ink if one of the colors is empty. That's a major pisser-offer for me.

Thanks for all the info, I will check out those models and brands and see what my local office depot has. I would like to have my own fax machine and number but that would mean actually having a home phone which I gave up on those like... over 8 years ago. So a fax is not in the cards but a printer is just fine. I'll get to looking those up after I get some sleep, haven't slept in about 1.5 days...

So I was at office depot today and came across an HP Officejet Pro 8600 that was on sale by $60 (normally about $200) and picked it up. It does fax, print, scan, copy, photo, etc and used very good ink, although I did forget to ask if it printed if it was low on colors, will find out at some point haha.

What sold me was the roughly 30% off normal price and that I really wanted something of good quality that had all the features I've convinced myself would be beneficial in my endeavors, I'll see how it performs.

Thanks for the tidbit
