Unless you REALLY need color, just buy a Brother BW laser printer. Toner doesn't dry up. It is all but guaranteed to be the cheapest option. I bought the scanner BW laser printer combo like 8 years ago for $130.
+10 for being able to take a document right from the printer and rub it all over without the ink smearing.
But buying a second printer would make my current 2yr investment a waste so savings would be a wash.
Also I do need color sometimes making the HP the better value until they start charging more for color.
Definitely will consider it when this printer dies though.
