I could maybe find one used. I looked for used printers 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.
