If you're looking for a basic inkjet printer and have a low budget then Epson Stylus C42UX may be ideal for you.

Epson Stylus C42UX has an included a slide-out paper output tray. You get a separate black ink cartridge and tri-colour ink cartridge with Epson C42UX. Both the color ink cartridges and black ink cartridge can be installed at the same time. This keeps you from either constantly switching ink cartridges or using a combination of all colors to print black text, thus using that ink cartridge faster than needed.
