Purchased Hp deskjet F4488@3744 incl.vat.Thanks all friends for suggestion.
I know I am late but I wish to tell you friends that Brother DCP 195C is the only printer in India which is being sold against premium - in black market.
Brother Launched its DCP165C in Nov.08/Dec.08, with hell lots of features including pictbridge, card reader, 25% to 400% reduction & enlargement (It has single line display), water mark and above all poster printing - printing a poster in 9 sheets of A4 size. All this for Rs. 3500/- But no body bothered.
Brother then tied up with Pantaloon group and offered their another model DCP 145C thru Big Bazaar, Ezone etc just for Rs. 2200/- during Republic day sale in 2009.
On seeing the ad I checked its specs & features on the net and placed order for 2 pcs. After a month I got just one; with further discount of Rs. 100/-
The printer was just superb. It worked on capillary system which was developed by brother and later CISS was developed for continuous ink supply for almost every printer.
THis printer worked flawlessly for more than a year. Since spares and repairs off warranty are very expensive (print head Rs.3500/-) I decided to upgrade to DCP 195C. I sold my printer for Rs. 4000/-and bought one from BITFANG.COM, Mumbai, online, for Rs. 4700/-VAT paid. Later when Bitfang.com realized that a customer from New Delhi; Asia's biggest IT hub, is buying from them for Rs. 4700/- and also paying Rs. 123/- extra towards shipping, they increased their cost to initially to Rs. 5130/- incl VAT and finally to Rs. 5310/-. But luckily just before the increase I bought another DCP 195C from them for Rs. 4700/-

However Lynx-India, Chandigarh is still selling it for Rs. 4614 + VAT but then shipping is very high. Bitfang later told me that price was increased by the distributor itself due to shortage. Even I feel they are the honest lot on the net -Best price and shipping charges for 9.2 Kgs printer by DTDC (courier) with delivery at my doorstep on the 4th day of booking with tracking no. is very very reasonable. On 5th day of making payment I got the printer right at my residence. I would like to tell you friends, that even going to Nehru Place (the IT hub of Asia) from my residence in west Delhi in a car would cost more than Rs. 123/- (towards petrol, parking & depreciation) which I paid for shipping. Anyway!
In New Delhi nobody sells this AIO for MRP, nor they will sell without those long refillable ink tanks (100 ml each); for a total of Rs. 7800 to 8000/-

The use of those refillable ink tanks makes printing dirt cheap. Only if one can take care of buying the best quality of ink - CISS ink. I personally recommend Prodot's "CISS INk for EPSON". Thats how 'Prodot' sells this ink. Using cheap ordinary ink will choke & block the print head. 80% of the people buy this AIO just because of tanks. But then features it offered are just superb - no other printer in this category offers.

The HP F4488 is little inferior model to C4488. C series is a photo quality series. Its very difficult to refill a sponge cartridges (like the one HP uses) Its easy to refill sponge less cartridges like Epson & Brother. Even the technology used by HP is 'thermal' whereas technology used by Epson & Brother is 'Piezoelectric'; in simple words its digital technology.
I'm not here to prove your decision to buy HP was not correct, but I want to place facts for my friends to understand and decide accordingly.
I can refill Epson & Brother ink cartridges without even using a needle - without making any extra hole; without inviting the danger of warranty getting void for using refill cartridges. Just a bit of commonsense thats all. I wish I could make a video and put it up at 'youtube' but then Epson & Brother can drag me to court (my lawyer says so).

I'll find out a way - very soon. The refillable ink tanks which sells just for USD 2.7 a set in China is being pushed for 2400/- to 2800/- in India. I just want to put an end to this; atleast for Epson & Brother printers. Even the service support by both Epson & Brother is much superior. That's my personal experience after having used C4288 for more than a year.
Good luck & happy printing
