Benny, the HP Laserjet printers are popular, all over the world. The LaserJet I, II, and III series all use a 100 oz-in stepper motor that works quite well for small to medium sized homebuilt routers.
Keep your eyes open...lots of stuff shows up on the used and surplus markets.
If you don't mind a small table, you can convert a cross-slide machinist's vise into a screw driven X-Y table. This is available in the States...undoubtedly something comparable is available down by you. I think this one, despite its questionable quality (Chinese origin), is a good CNC platform for a tiny table. It's certainly stiffer than almost anything you could build for the price. The only down sides are: poor quality lead screws that need replacing (13mm ACME, I believe) and tiny capacity at 4x6 inches.
