Can someone please recommend a decent NOT all-in-one printer that has a nice cost per page?


Im trying to get a printer that will fit in a small college dorm, therefore I dont want an all-in-one, and assuming you have to pay more for it, it doesnt need to be able to print high quality stuff on photo paper. I'm fine with printing an essay in 10 seconds instead of 3 as well. I'm looking for one between 50-100 (that would probably go for more like 40-50 on ebay after using the "new in box" filter and getting it from a respected seller). But the price of the printer is of course not nearly as important as the ink.

As you can see, even photo printers NIB go for quite cheap on ebay:

So Im thinking I could get one for even cheaper than those photo printers...

So mainly Im asking for a SIMPLE printer that gets nice cost per page. Thanks guys.
 
I believe the R320 or R340 will have a lower cost per page (they use the same cartridges...) From what I've figured, the Epsons are about $.04 per page (black), the HP is about $.06 per page (black). With the color, it looks like about $.0325 per page for the Epsons, and the HP is $.0286 per page for the HP. If you are going to go through a lot of black, the Epson would be a good deal, but if you are going to do some photos, the HP would be cheaper. However, I think *in my opinion* that the Epsons will give you a better quality photo. Hope that's enough information for ya! :)
