Quoted: I'd suggest picking up a used workgroup-class printer

i found a lightly used Lexmark 1855 at the thrift store for $35.
hit ebay and maxed out the memory for $10
ebay again for a 500 sheet tray for a few bucks.
envelope feeder available, can add multiple 500 sheet drawers, and a duplexer if i want. duplexer would be very nice if you want to print your own e-books.
IIRC, one toner cartridge is rated for 17,500 pages, re-filled cartridges are just over $50 on ebay.
some of these printers seem to still be running with close to a million pages on them. mine only has a few thousand.
someone saud "they are only good if you print a LOT of pages".. i'dhave to disagree... i don't print much and my POS inkjet was always clogged up when i'd go to use it, wasted more ink cleaning it than printing with it.
