Seems like HP is the overwhelming choice followed by Brother and Canon. I bought a very cheap Epson five years ago at Walmart for $40, the Epson 440, they now stock the 446 for $41. Still going strong, not a bit of trouble and I print and scan all the time.

Only one other poster mentioned Epson, knowing your price range, they have this Epson XP 4100 at Best Buy for $99, the Ocala store has it in stock and the Lady Lake store can have it in four days. The reviews are great, there are 1750 reviews and it's 4.2 stars out of 5. It uses the Epson 212 ink, which is $20 for a black cartridge and $38 for the 4 color pack.

If I was looking for a new printer, I've had HP and Canon and I don't believe they worked any better or even as good as my Epson. Keep Epson on your radar, they have a demo model of this at the Lady Lake store. If it works as good as my $40 Epson, for $99 this a good deal.

Here's a photo I took in 1976 of aircraft on display at an airshow at St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport and I scanned it with my $40 Epson printer a year ago for my Facebook page.
