I must have spent at least $1000 on inkjet printers over the last 12 years and managed to successfully print about 50 colour pages and 20 photos in that period. I now have a HP5280 that I use only or printing on CD's. Estimated cost over $10 per page, with CD's now about $2.00 based on cost of ink only. For plain letter pages I had a HP 5P Laser.
If I need the occasional photo it is far cheaper to get them done at the local photo shop.
For other printing I use a Konica colour laser that I have had for five years (three sets of cartridges) and something like 10000 sheets. The cost has dropped to under 12c per page.
The printer is only a single side printer so I get a lot of waste from errors when printing double sides. When the current cartridges run out I will invest in a quality double side printer.
I do a lot of printing of Meccano manuals for friends. Many 200 pages plus that I bind in various methods.
