[Closed] cheap printer

I need a printer, it will be used rarely, mainly to print maps on to waterproof paper, and the occasional photo or boarding pass etc. The one ive got is always clogged when I need it.
Bluetooth would be nice but I want it reliable, and cheap to run.
Any ideas?

Just got an HP Envy all in one to replace the HP that dies after 6 months. Both cost about the same as replacing the carts. It's the Shitmano BB of printers out there. So Whatever is cheaper than cartridges.

That's a feature of inkjet technology generally, I'm afraid. If you don't use them for ages the ink dries out.

Except the carts in the printers will probably be "starter" cartridges which have homeopathic quantities of ink in them.
