Default If you want economy, don't buy cheap
If you use your printer at all, your major consideration should be the cost of ink. I particularly avoid HP. HP means "high price". A $100 printer will eat you alive in replacement ink cartridges.

I am a member of a writers group and I print about 5 pages a day. After bleeding money paying for ink, I am now happy with the Epson ecotank printer. At about $300, One filling of Epson ink will print about as many pages as 80 HP ink cartridges. My printer is all-in-one, color, and wireless. It is not awfully fast, and does not have a sheet feeder. Setup and maintenance is fairly easy for a wireless printer.
