I'm walking the same road re: replacing my gefunked color ink jet, because it's all a conspiracy to get me to buy more ink. And then I realized that I rarely print color. Maybe once/month. My local library offers color laser prints for $0.10/page. That's a bargain compared to damn ink cartridges at $30 or more. If I need it in a hurry I can email the files to a quick printer who can deliver the result to me or where it's needed.
