A small rabbit hole....
Office works has fairly cheap printers. If you're looking for a cheap, reliable and cost effective colour printer then the Epson Stylus is the way to go. Some of the models are about 100-150. Canon is still alright but the cost of ink in running them is more expensive than that of epson.

Get a Epson 830 Photo , that's the one i got, it's a photo printer, omg it prints really good colour pics, and it cost me 250 i think, it's worth it in the long run because ink carts are cheap, like the colour ink cart is 38 bucks and the black is 45 so it's totally worth it!

yeah, i would love to- but $250 is too much for me man...i need to save up for a pda and stuff. :(

but yeah, most of the time i wanna use this printer to print out the 100 pages of lecture notes, and also i might wanna print occasionally using colour if u know what i mean. :)

Look, you do maths, you calculate is purchasing a cheap printer, but having to purchase ink that cost so much you might as well purchase the 250 printer, dont u get it?.

that's something you should target when purchasing printers, the cost of cartridges. I think lexmark sells cheap printers but their cartridges are crazy like 60 - 70
