I think the reviewers mostly have the thing pegged. Scroll down. 4 reviews.

"Most low cost printers are designed to use a lot of ink"

Whether it is worthwhile running, may depend on what you are going to
print with it. For run of the mill hardcopy, a laser printer might
be cheaper to run.

Lexmark are very good printers but the ink is very expensive. For the
price of 2 Lexmark ink cartridges I bought cheap HP PSC.

Just bought 2 genuine HP replacement ink cartridges from OfficeMax, with
the $6US discount trade-in of 2 used cartridges it cost $20US for the 2
cartridge pack plus they threw in a free (worth $24) package of HP photo
print paper.

No heaving duty printing, mostly "how to guides" an occasional
picture.

I can't find them (takes 2) for under $20.00 a piece online, and that
doesn't include shipping.

Yes, that's how they make their $. You either pay around
that much or find some generics and test them till you find
one that works acceptibly (though Lexmark was one of the
companies a bit more aggressive about preventing generics
use and pursuing those who made generics).

As another poster already mentioned, in the long run it'll
be cheaper to get a B&W laser, if you can accept B&W
printing. Might even be cheaper to buy a color laser if you
did enough volume to offset the high initial and replacement
toner cartridge costs (hundreds of dollars to replace all 4
cartridges, actually one business class color laser I have
costs about $1000 to replace all 4), and though color laser
print quality has increased in the past few years it is
still less photorealistic than a good inkjet.
