I haven't owned a printer for a few years, so I'm a little out of touch with the best models/brands. I'm looking to buy a cheap one, mainly for printing text - I don't plan to print many pictures.
As I live in a small town, my best choice is to go to Hi-Mart. I was there today looking and I only found 2 printers that were in my price range. One was a Canon iP 2680, and the other was an Epson Stylus T21.
I found a couple of reviews for the Canon, which suggested it was a bit of an ink pig, but I can't find any English info on the Epson, even on their own website. I found some info on their Korean website, but that doesn't really give me an unbiased review of the printer:

I'm assuming that for some reason they market it under a different number in Korea. Anyways, both of the printers were around 65 to 70,000 won. Any advice on which one to go with?

Thanks

I would buy from gmarket or Costco instead of himart if cost is a concern.

It is easy to sign up, just make sure you look at the comments at the bottom. I put them through google translate, not perfect but gives me an idea of what thy are trying to say

Honestly, You can pick up a 5 in 1 printer for around 70,000WON. Check Gmarket. They are great when it comes to that kind of stuff.
