I want to buy my son a cheap new printer that has ink cartridges that can be easily re-filled.?

The print quality doesn%26#039;t have to be top notch. Other features like scanner or card reader are not important, but if its got them then fine.


He will waste a lot of ink so cheap re-filling is the key. Thanks for any input.|||Epson has the best warranty in the industry. For a year they will fedex you a replacement and pick up the old one.
