Cheap text printer

Hi.. I current have a Lexmark Z31 printer which is out of ink, and don't want to replace both cartridges because its a ripoff (£50-60 - could buy a brand new printer for that with new cartridges already in).

I don't do any photo prints.. and very rarely any colour stuff at all, so if it's just a black and white printer it wouldnt be too much bother: The main requirements are for it to print text, to work in Windows XP, to be a cheap printer in the first place (don't mind getting off of ebay if necessary) and also to have cheap or a great price per page with the cartridges. I don't want to go down the Lexmark route of cheap printer, then finding replacing both cartridges cost more than the original printer did in the first place

I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Lexmark can be refilled with ink refill from Wal-Mart (or some equivalent in UK, but the cheapest black ppp (PricePerPage) has Canon, then HP (1 cent difference at most) while HP has the best quality of the text print.

..this is very useful and helpful place for information...
