I have an HP Deskjet and that was a huge mistake of my life. That printer is pure evil. It demands new cartridges almost every time I switch it on, usually it claims they are empty, but sometimes it refuses the brand new cartridge because "the expiration date has passed"!!! (So stocking up isn't a good idea + check if the supplier stored them long)Of course it also refuses non-HP made cartridge, and generally jams the paper frequently, or at least indicates such, so it needs to run "tests" wasting time and ink. I truly hate this printer, and would never buy it again.
I would also recommend a HP. I have an HP Deskjet 3050 which is wireless and easy to set up - you need to have wifi in your house though....
The one thing I would advise though is to make sure that you can get the replacement cartridges easily - both colour and black and white.... and buy a load of them with the printer! There always seems to be supply problems in Dubai.
I used to have a Lexmark 3-in-1 and it was brilliant but I couldn't get the cartridges anywhere in Dubai!
I bought mine in Sharaf DG

We've just bought an HP printer. Look out for the ones that are wireless so can be in a cupboard if you dont want to look at it, Prints both sides, great for photos also you can send stuff to it to print from anywhere in the world. Cant remember the model we have but there are a few to choose from and not that expensive.
We got from Jackies express in moe they had best prices.
