I'm short of deskspace, and I need a decent printer to go with my MBP...

I'm not too bothered about print speed, but as long as the image quality is pretty good, I'm happy.

It does need to be very compact (and yet still print on A4) and it needs to look pretty cool, not be a huge plastic lump. I saw one on TV once which was just a metal bar with a slit on one side and a 'tray' on the other side. I don't care if it can only hold about 10 pieces of A4, it just needs to look cool and also be within a student's price range....

Any ideas? :cool:
 
Browsing through Apple Store, they had HP Deskjet 5940 at £79.95 and the slightly bigger HP Photosmart 8250 at £119 (you can probably get them cheaper elsewhere, the 5940 starts at about £60 on kelkoo).

The HP Deskjet 5940 seems fairly lean, for such a cheap printer:
