Cheapest black cartridge inkjet/laser printer ?

1. Inkjets will be cheaper for the initial purchase. Expect to do most of your spending on cartridges. Laser printers produce better print quality and while they are usually more expensive, and the toners are more expensive, the toner usually lasts a lot longer than the injects. I have a brother laser printer (b/w) and while I may not have been doing a lot of printing, I know that I can get a couple thousand pages out of it. With the rate at which I'm currently printing (now that I'm done with school), this toner will most likely last me at least 3 years.
2. Unless you like spending good money buying expensive inkjet cartridges, if I were in your shoes I would simply look for an older Hewlett Packard (HP) Laserjet Printer like one from the HP Laserjet 4 or 5 series, HP 2100 or 2200 series etc. As you know the print quality for any papers or documents you have to submit is TERRIFIC and all the drivers are still readily availble on-line for download. Like someone else suggest I actually saw some GOOD WORKHORSE HP LASERJET 4 printers on sale for $12.00 on CRAIGLIST which caught me by surprise me...since I personally own like 4 Hewlett Packard black & white HP Laserjets that I paid from a free-gift away, $35, $65 and like $1,500 <= years ago brand new. Naturally I don't need any more but where I saw it was on my local CRAIGSLIST under the FOR SALE category then COMPUTERS. What happened was Seller bought a huge lot of commercial HP Laserjet printers on few pallets and simply did not have storage. Just be PATIENT if you didn't see any under a wildcard search or maybe POST YOUR OWN CL Inquiry in 2 places under WANTED and COMPUTERS but most likely all you will attract is people dumping inkjet printers. EBAY COMPUTERs might be another Good Buy to find a good laserjet printer, but do yourself a favor and SEARCH BY CLOSEST DISTANCE bec S&H will certainly be costly. Also genuine unopened HP toner lasts forever and never dries up, and with patience can be bought for like $25 or more and one toner cartridge can easily last a full year. Hope the Above Info Helps!
3. Bought an HP about 5 years ago causing problems now for the first time but have had no real issues with it until now always worked great had printer/fax capabilities as well cost around 135 on sale also had a smaller version of HP printer only for around 45 but broke down after 1 year Staples supply they are on line with prices and will ship too you.Office depo is OK too but have not a lot of experience with them.
4. You want a laser if you want to go cheap Get a samsung ML-2010. You can pick one up for like $50. The cartridges cost about that as well and are rated for 3500 pages.
