That is a useful suggestion, but I must put it off for some future world, not

online, but couldn't find any in that range. However, laser printers are
coming down in price. Maybe not this year, but next year, or the next, I
could think about buying a laser.
For the present, though, I must make do with what I have at hand. I only have
about $9 to spare every month, so I have to make my best guess about what
will get me through the next year or so with the inkjet printer that I
actually have, not one that I don't have and can't afford.

When one has literally no money to spend, one
must make do with what is
available. I hear what everybody is saying about laser printers, but that
is not an option.
Good point. I've bought more than one good laser printer at garage sales
for $3-$10, and they usually have 1000 pages or so of toner in them. I
haven't bought a new printer in over 20 years. Check your local
Craigslist, or post a wanted ad there, and I bet you can find one for way
less than the $40 you're thinking of spending on ink.
Older HP lasers are very cheap to run, and almost all work very well with
Linux.
