    So I'm looking for a basic, sub €100 all in one desktop printer, mainly for scanning and very occasional printing so don't really care about ink usage. Needs to have an auto feeder, that's the most important.

    I know supply chains from the far east are banjaxxed because of Covid but can't find stock anywhere.

    Tried all the usual suspects, Currys, Soundstore, DID, Argos, Euronics, Komplett, Harvey Norman....not a printer in sight, not even on delivery.

    Anyone any ideas where else I can try ? - Oh I'm Cork based

    I'm afraid I don't know of any outside of the ones you already listed, but I just wanted to point out that if you buy an inkjet you need to use it every once in a while, even if only once a month, as the ink can dry up and clog the nozzles.

    Thanks hadn't thought of .de, just had a nose and again nothing available that suits. It's like a black hole for printers !
