Hi Eric,
I used to be irritated by the ink use cleaning heads, particularly when 
it was my better half printing emails to read later, one at a time, 
with a head cleaning ink waster at switch on each time. I got a Hewlett 
Packard laserjet 1300m with ethernet and connected it to my broadband 
modem such that it can be used by anybody. It is my wife's default 
printer and I use it for all non photography stuff. The refill lasts a 
huge time compared to an inkjet.
cheers
Frank
