I've come across the Lexmark Z708 inkjet, apparently available at PC World for £29.99 (in-store). Not that I like inkjets, since the cartridge price leads to high running costs in the long term (it looks as though Lexmark cartridges, even black and white, cost over $20, i.e. nearly as much as the printer in this case). However, the price is right ... !
I've no experience of Lexmark printers, but there's only one of which I've heard good reports. Unfortunately, the one you mention isn't it.
The remainder of reports have ranged from lukewarm to incandescant - all on the negative side.
There is a booth in the entrance to the Mall in Norwich which sells cheap (from about £3.50) cartridges - most of which are new, but HP and one other (which I forget) are refilled and relabelled.
