What's a cheap printer that I could buy with some cheap ink when I need to refill?

I only need the basic print function, no fax, no copy, and no scan. I already have a printer that broke down, but those functions still work.What's a cheap printer that I could buy with some cheap ink when I need to refill?
This is a cheap printer - Lexmark Z1300 InkJet Printer. It is cheaper to buy online.

I would recommend the CX8400 also. It is a print/copy/scan printer, but the performance you get for the money is well worth replacing the other functions.





I am sure that the scan feature on the Epson is upgraded from what you are able to do with the Canon. The Epson has three scan modes. Auto, which automatically scans with the press of a button. Home, which allows you to edit and increse DPI of your scans. Professional, for people that are far more in depth than I. The scan also has a faded photo restore feature, so you can restore the color in your old faded photos.





You also get the LCD screen and memory card slots, so you can increase/decrese the size and numbers of copies. You can edit photos and perform all your maintenance duties from the printer.





This is a 4 ink printer, so if you run out of yellow, you just replace yellow. The tri-color ink cartridges actually end up costing you more money, because when you run out of yellow, you are throwing away cyan and magenta. It is also pigment ink, so your prints are waterproof, even on plain paper. Epson has the only pigment ink printer available for home use (HP, Canon have pigment ink printers, but are the large format professional printers).
I bought an EPSON CX8400. When one of the ink cartridges is empty, the printer won't print at all. I've had it two weeks and replaced cartridges twice. It drinks ink like a sailor on leave. I've spent more on ink than I paid for the printer. ($40 at Fry Electronics) It's so noisy, you can hear it all over the house. It prints fine, but I can't afford the ink. The black was empty after printing 19 pages. I cleaned the head and it showed it used 1/4 of each tank. When the tank shows empty, it still has about 1/4 of tank left. If you decide to refill the tanks yourself, you'll have to get a chip resetter. I'm throwing it away.............
The epson cx8400 is a scanner/copier/printer for $60 at circuitcity.com with free shipping. genuine Epson ink is expensive but you can get brand new (not refills which are a bad idea) cartridges for under $5 at http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp
Cheap printers make there money on expensive inks. Whereas expensive printers generally have cheaper ink.
