Best Deal on a Printer

My printer died. I've been looking at purchasing another. What I've found is that printers are relatively cheap, it's the cost of ink cartridges that are outrageous. My last printer was a Cannon, which had the advantage of aftermarket ink, but I'm having trouble finding a comparable deal. Does anyone have a suggestion?
 
I bout a Brother HL-L2395DW for $10 at a garauge sale ($130 new)... it prints fast an saves a ton on ink... always ready to go wit no need to print often to keep ink from cloggin up... an now my ink-drankin Epson color printer is unpluged forever.!!!

I found that some cheaper brand name cartridges are identical to their cheaper brand cousins - all you have to do is snap a peg off.

I can't provide more specific information because that was a few years ago, so companies have changed their cartridge designs. But if you're willing to do a little checking into the cartridges, and seeing if there's a cheaper version out there, it might be worth your while.


This is just an example; mine had a different peg arrangement. The only difference between the expensive cartridge and the cheaper one was that the expensive one had an extra peg - which could be cut off with a knife.

Do not do this.

Cheap printers are the standard. They will sell you a printer for a song nowadays.
They'll nail you on the cartridges.
When you go looking for a printer, so must look at the cost of the cartridges and how long they'll last. That's the big cost.
