Default Yawn, yet another printer question

I know that to some extent this was discussed earlier, but I cannot
find it. I have a canon S900 printer which is on its last legs.
Generally I have been happy with its printing, though Canon's attitude
to customers problems is awful. Any way I am looking to replace it, I
would like a reasonable cost printer that is good for documents and
fair for photos. Hopefully a low cost ink system, the canon is rather
expensive. I do not require a photo copier, which most seem to have.
All suggestions welcomed


Our Canon iP5000 printer finally died a couple of days ago having seen
my son through reams of homework.

After a lot of time spent researching I've bought an Epson Workforce
WP-4535 as replacement. Yes it's a big bugger and not cheap at £180,
(from the local PCWorld - I did try to buy it at independents but none
had stock), but all the reviews mention the low running costs.

And yes, it ADF scans & copies & can fax and it's ethernet & Wi-Fi
connectable none of which I particularly need but they don't distract
from its plus points. I may eventually discard the Epson 1650 scanner we
have though for now I need it as I still have some old slides to
digitize.
