Yeah, I don't need it to be great; e.g., I won't be printing out photos, nor
doing end-quality work that needs to look perfect. I just need it to be "good
enough", so that I can print out drafts, and print out copies of mock-up
pages that I lay out.
It may come to my laying out and designing the whole book by myself (as I used
to do that kind of thing in days past, when people still read the printed
word); but right now my goal is just to be able to imagine how the final
published version ought to look on the page.
I found some refill kits that have copies of the Brother cartridges; they have
refill holes, and are transparent or translucent, so that you can see whether
they are full or not. Also there are some web pages that tell how to reset
the printer, to keep printing even when it says you need to change
cartridges.

I will plan to buy a laser printer somehow in the future. For the
present, my options are limited (and I haven't explained EVERYTHING, as I
doubt everybody wants to read my life story here). I will try to make do
with my Brother inkjet printer (which at least *looks* shiny and
brand-new), and figure out how to make do with refills. Over the years I
have got pretty inventive about making stuff work that really should not
work at all, and this is another one of those moments.
I have a Brother MFC which works to my satisfaction with non-Brother-refill
and a chip reseter (from amazon - 1/2 liter ink + reseter for the price of
one original cardridge). That keeps the operation cost quite low. I would
not bet that it's as cheep as a laser, but on the other hand it stinks
less :-)
