It's actually 20c per page for about 4 bucks. Then there is tax for another 40c then 35c of gas and possibly 15 minutes of your time over and over and over again.

The right answer is a black and white laser. spend $199 once in the next 10-15 years

You could also go to the library.

This is what we did, sometimes we print, sometimes we don't, toner doesn't dry. Multi function 200 dollars. So far 5 years later, off brand toner and all is well.
