I recently acquired a HP 1022 laserjet for $99.  With the amount of printing
I do, I suspect that the toner will last me for at least a year.  I found
found the printer on sale.

Cindy and Nancy,

As has already been suggested most printers can be instructed to print in 
pure black and white, or grayscale. I have never had a printer that required

both cartriges to be full to work properly--nor can I remember having one 
that required both to be inserted to operate.

Laser printers are much more affordable than $250. I have seen a good 
personal one for under $100 on NewEgg and have one myself. You'll find that 
the toner costs a bit more than ink cartrages, but it lasts a LOT longer. 
I've printed well over 500 sheets on mine and have yet to change the toner.

HTH,
Jake
