Good all in one printer.

I'd recommend against Lexmark models.

They tend to be unreliable & ink costs far too much.

Canon & Epson will be the cheapest ink cost.
HP will likely be the most reliable, but their ink costs more, since they produce cartridges with the print heads built on (iow, there's no printhead to worry about wearing out).

Canon's printheads are considered consumables, so they are not covered under warranty, whereas Epsons are covered.
If it's only light use though, that shouldn't matter much.

Most people on here tend to say go with Canon because of cheap ink refills, but i would say either Epson or Canon should be fine.
 
Others are bashing lexmark, but i picked up an x1150 for under 70 bucks at wal-mart and its been a great combo unit for me.

I have a canon i960 for my photos and color, so im not having major ink usage on the color side, but i will say that for the price of this unit it is quit, speedy, and the prints are exceptionly nice in black and compleatly acceptable in color.
 
Epson RX series. Not the CX.
I had a CX5200 - Quality = no good!
Currently have the Rx500, has excellent print qulity, great for pictures.
 
The Epson CX6600 is $150 after a $50 MIR right now. Good print quality, decent photos (not as good as the RX500/RX600, but passable), and individual color tanks. I've owned several Epsons and have had very few problems with reliability (the ink clog horror stories most people speak of are WAYYY exaggerated; this can happen on Canons too). My experience with HP and Lexmark multifunctions have been poor reliability (on most of them, the scanners stopped working) and expensive ink. Epson or Canon is the way to go.
