PURELY OT (and greenly sorry, folks !)
As a matter of fact, inkjet are drying out on their own, and laserjet
can't dry more than they are,
BUT,
are you really sure you NEED to print that much ????
Oh, if you have sometime today, have a look at

Well, the fact that you said "ink cartridges" probably means you're
not interested in this, but we got a Brother HL-2140 laser a couple
years ago from Newegg for 60 bucks and the generic toner available
for it is about 25 bucks. We have it set up on our Linux server and
access it from our Linux laptops through CUPS, and we've printed
thousands of pages without a problem. It was totally plug and play
under Ubuntu Hardy, so it's been around a while. Newegg has a newer
model with duplex for 80 bucks as I type this, but it seems to have
been a sale that ends tonight. I have no idea if the new ones still
use the same driver.
But it is black and white, and a laser, so not as energy-efficient as
an inkjet. We got an HP Officejet 4500 g510n (they really need to
rethink their naming scheme) all-in-one, mostly for scanning but do
what little color printing we need to do on it. We had to mess
around with it a bit to get it working on Ubuntu 9.10, but 10.04 and
up seem fine.
We're able to print to it and scan from it over wifi without hooking
it up to a computer. A full set of first-party ink runs about 40
bucks, but we're still on our first set so I can't comment on how
long they last.
NOTE: inkjet cartridges will dry out on their own, even if they're not
used.
