Printer/scanner combinations are really cheap. My old printer/scanner died and I went to office depot. I didn't shop around as this was for the office and I needed it now, and only paid about $250 for one. There were some that were much cheaper and perfect for home use. I always buy HP. They are a bit more when you buy them but the print cartridges are half what Lexmark's are so I figure that over the years, I come out ahead with the HP. Plus they work well with my HP computers and there's lots of online support if you have problems.
