If you're a home user, your printing needs might be very basic — the occasional A4 or 6x4in photograph, maybe a school assignment or a quick scan of some personal documents. A cheap printer should be all you'll need for these simple tasks, so here is our round-up of the best low-cost inkjets from Canon and HP.

If you're looking for a small and inexpensive multifunction printer for everyday printing needs (think recipes, maps, school reports and Web pages), the HP Photosmart B109a is worthy of consideration. It's not a good photo printer though, so don't think just because it has 'Photosmart' in its names that it will excel in this area. It also doesn't have extensive scanning features. It's easy to install and use though, and it's suitable for new users who haven't installed a printer on their computer before.
