USB Hub (2 port) €10 with Dc adapter too
USB Pen Memory €70 129Mb
6 in 1 card reader CF SD etc, €20
Lexmark Printer z603 ? €50
50 sheets phot quality inkjet €8 (not 100% sure)

All good value if you are trundling past IMO , personally I'll have the lot except the Pen and the printer. Lexmark carts cannot be bought cheap unlike Epson carts where there are stacks of good clones on the market. Paddy20 (peace and blessings upon him) has loudly exhorted this DIY refill product line Here which works out cheaper than any Carts. I think the Lexmark carts are not chipped which means they will refuse to work once empty. An investment of €25 on top of the printer price would get you the UKP10 refill kit and 250ml of black ink and postage to your door. (UKP18 the lot) .

I need to buy Catfood you see and thats my real excuse for going to Lidl.

Got the printer and the USB hub but the bloody card reader sold out in hours in Blanchardstown.

Gmodified · 01-10-2003 11:46am

So, is this hub USB2.0 compatible??

Discovering · 01-10-2003 12:00pm

Just got the card reader and speakers.

The spearkers are quite good and excellent value imo.

The card reader is ok, does the job.
