I just got an HP 3320 two weeks ago for work and it was cheap and works fine for me. It was $50. I don't do all that much color printing but what's nice is that I can take out the color cartridge and it will work fine. There's no setting in the properties to enable just b/w printing so that's what I had to do when I print web pages.
Here's a list of the personal HP line, many people have these at work and swear by them:

How come you don't like HP? Honestly, I've never had any experiences with any printers other than HP's so I don't know.
I got a Canon BJC-6000. It's pretty quick with text, the black ink tanks last for a decent amount of time and aren't too expensive. The one I have is colorblind though. Green comes out blue, red comes out purple, etc.
But it's nice, at standard quality it'll spit out like 10 pages a minute doing black text.

I got lucky, I found an HP LaserJet for $30 at a yard sale across the street with toner. I agree, those HP printers eat up ink like Fat Bastard. The printers are cheap, but they rip you off with the ink, and those ink refill kits are a bitch with their cartridges, you have to cut a precise hole in the cartridge and if you mess it up, you gotta get a new cartridge (learned the hard way). I only use it for color printing (which is probably like less than 5 pages a year) and now I have it set to print up the small sheets for the tournament since I can't feed the double half sheets (one 8.5 by 5.5 sheet attached to another underneath, like a carbon but no carbon paper) into the laser. It's still slow as hell, even if it's only printing about 20 characters a page, it delays after 2 pages because it still thinks it's getting fed regular paper.

How much are black and color replacement inks for that Epson? Just curious to see what the price difference is.

Buy your cartigages from a third party manufacturer not from the original manufacturer. I get new cart's at work for about half of what I would pay for Epson carts.
