If like me you don't print much but still need a printer occasionally, get a laser printer (possibly a scanner multifunction, since it can be handy to scan your receipts), and just buy your cartridges normally. Laser toner won't dry up like ink does, so you end up paying less for your infrequent prints in the long run.

Go to your local goodwill/thrift store and check for laser printers.

Get a laser printer, with toner cart, for less than 20, often less than 10, bucks.

Depends.

Though I suspect what you can find used for a good price will generally be larger.

You have a scanner in your pocket, just a reminder.
