Just about anything HP makes should work. I have a little HP 3-in-one, printer, scanner and copier that does a pretty fair job for cheap. It's a PST 1510 and is probably already superceded by a newer one. Being cheap initially doesn't mean cheap on supply costs. But, I doubt it is one of the worst offenders. It scans like a champ though. I like the thing, but I moan like hell over ink cartridges, like everyone else.
