wish to buy Printer under 5K,

My top priority over here is easily available and cheap ink, and need with scanner.

I wish to print Ebooks so need affordable ink rates..

don't know much about printer, have not used at all so suggest me good one.

no brand preferred in particular but should be reliable and easily available cartridges to.

if u can fine HP laserjet P1007 that wud b the best deal for u.. it has gr8 VFM..
cartridge refilling also costs a little..

otherwise increase your budget to get Canon2900B or HP LaserJet 1020 which are pretty good..

For printing E-Books, its better to get a Laser Printer. The cost of printing will be less.
