I’m happy with our old HP OfficeJet 550. Its paper tray is big enough for a lot of copies, its four ink tanks have a long lifetime, and it prints pretty fast. It was sold to me as an alternative to a laser printer, and I think we’ve done well with it.
We’ll see how it does with the cheaper ink from Cartridge World. :)

$300 is the used price. That's a $1000+ printer new. I would be scared of a used printer. The one you get might have a couple million prints on it.
I wouldn't recommend to most people to get the same printer I have unless they have a heavy print load. I just used it as a good example of how a more expensive printer and quickly pay for itself. It would take $450 worth of toner in a 2000 page yield printer to equal one of my $59 cartridges.... and my printer is made much better, so it will last longer too.... but like I said, it doesn't make much sense if you print so seldom that you only put 1 or 2 cartridges in the printer before you throw it away and get a new one. (perhaps because your new computer doesn't have a parallel port on it any more)
