I was also complaining recently about the great sucking of ink from my 
Epson. Someone suggested I check out Fry's selection of BW laser 
printers. I do a lot of writing, although one would never know it from 
my typos, which runs through BW ink. The laser, on the other hand, is 
considered better for text. The ones I used, popped out sheets of paper 
like they were being blown by the wind.
If it's a low end one, the $149.00 ones are usually discounted on 
weekends to $99.00. The cartridge cost can be anywhere from $59 to $99, 
and are refillable. The BW cartridges can do about 3000 sheets.
