Got a HP Envy 5546 too, it's ok but the ink does not last long.

Can you tell me more about ongoing ink costs with this printer please?

Do you have one of their monthly price plan thingies where they automatically send you their own brand inks? If so, how does that work, and is it good value for money?

Or do you buy compatibles?

I use cartridgesave.co.uk for my cartridges and in this link are the prices and the average uses costs https://www.cartridgesave.co.uk/ink-cartridges/HP/Envy-4527-All-in-One.html

HP Officejet Pro or recent equivalent upgrade

Have you considered laser? Much better quality and prices have fallen a great deal in recent years. cartridges may cost more upfront buy last a lot long and not prone to gumming up like inkjet.

I did have a look but the initial costs involved just seem too high for what we need. I think we'd have to do a lot of printing before making any eventual savings.

I picked up a Canon MG5650 cheap from FB few months back and it does exactly what you looking for I believe!!

Just use for printing A4 mainly! Simple to replace cartridges and sure the copy & scan functions would be sufficient if were to need them too!

HTH

I have the 5650 too and no problems. About £60 I think. The new cartridges are not cheap, but I can get them in Tescos.

We've got a Canon Pixma ip6700d which we've had for about 15 years.

Still going strong but I want a wireless printer now.

Would absolutely buy another Canon.

Compatible cartridges are a false economy IMO. We get ours from www.tonergiant.co.uk - brilliant service and competitive on price.

JFYI - I have today needed to buy new cartridges. There are 5 recommended online suppliers listed in this thread - I found for my my printer that Cartridge Save and Tonergiant were in equal first place in terms of cost for what I was looking for (Canon originals), with Cartridge World, Viking and Phoenix all being somewhat to materially more expensive.
