If you are to ask me which printer is the best the Epson L382 would be a better choice. However, the printer was discontinued by Epson and replaced with Epson L3110, L3111, and L3150. Canon has recently introduced their spectacular new printers in the market such as the Canon G2411, G2420, G3411, G3420. All their printers come with a 3-year warranty and inks range approximately KES 1,200 depending on stock availability.
The HP 415 and 515 have recently been inconsistent in the Kenyan market making them not a hot sell. however, in terms of functionality, they are pretty good except that HP does not have a good reputation in making ink tank printers.
Here is a link to check out low-cost printers such as HP 2320, 2720, Canon TS3140, and Canon MG3140s.
