Now, i do know about the "old" Canon MP130 but nobody seems to carry
it any longer.

Do you want cheap printer, or cheap printout? Usually you get expensive
per page with any cheap printer. If you don't need color, a cheap
laserprinter is cheaper per page than any inkjet, though a more
expensive laserprinter may be a better per-page deal a few thousand
pages into it. At some point even color is cheaper with a laserprinter,
though color lasers are on the whole a lot more expensive to run than
black and white ones are.

You can also get retrofit kits to feed an inkjet bulk inks.

"printers they don't make anymore" can frequently be acquired from
various sources including *B*y - often used, sometimes new in box.

Did you or did you not *read* what i said?

You want a < $100.00 printer that takes carts that are less than
$10.00/pop.

If you can find printer carts less than $10.00, I'm sure lots and
lots of people would be very very happy to know about it.

Good Luck!

I'm sure someone would be happy to make a printer cartridge that costs
$10 and lasts for 200 pages. I prefer the $80 ones that last for 2000
pages and you get a replacement PC drum as part of the deal.
