Barrie,

I'm with Mike on this one. I have an old (10 years ?) IBM  4029 by Lexmark 
b&w laser printer.  Can't beat it. I think the last toner cartridge lasted 5 
years. Bought the current toner cartridge on Ebay (NOS).  My kid's Emachine 
has a Lexmark color inkjet when I need to print a pic.

For what the inkjet cartridges costs, they should give you the printer FREE 
plus $50 in ink coupons. They will still make it back up in short order.
