Recommendations for occasional use printer?

[Amphorae]

I need to replace my Lexmark Z32 (please don't laugh, it was a freebie) with
a color printer that I will only use occasionally (I do most of my printing
on the high speed lasers we have at work). The Lexmark has the usual
problems with clogging, and I'm tired of constantly replacing cartridges
that are 75% unused. For what I'm paying for replacement cartridges, I
could have bought several replacement printers. Any suggestions? Thanks.

HP, cheap, say a $100.00 model. They are nice and reliable.

Problem is that All Ink jets suffer from little use, even the HP's, the heads
corrode and block up, yes you can clean the heads but you can't stop the
corrosion..

How does using it or not affect corrosion?
Use an HP once a month and it won't clog.

Hi,
I ran into basically the same problen with my Epson, every time
I needed to make a print, I would have to clean it a bunch of times.
I started going to Walmart to use the Kodak machine there to make
instant prints. It isn't a bad deal. I just got a HiTi 630PS last week
and it makes great 4X6 dye sub prints for around 40 cents a piece.
Don't know how cheap you want to go, but with the new model out,
I got it for $169 from newegg.com. Hope this helps.
