I need a new printer

[kuthedude]

Alright, so my printer died and I need a new one.

I need a all in one that is wireless, and that doesnt require me to pay out the you know what for ink. I would also prefer it to work if one of the cartridges were empty/absent. I have heard kodak offers cheap ink, but the reviews aren't so great on amazon. I don't need the latest and the greatest, just something to print decent photos and a lot of black and white. So I would prefer it to have a "draft" setting.

Any ideas? I want to spend under $100 if possible.

I just wrote in another post recommending the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 ($150 on sale at Staple/Office Depot). I know, it's not below $100, but I think the imprtant thing with printers is not how much you pay for the printer, but how much you will have to spend on inks.

The Pro models uses larger ink cartridges resulting in very low per copy cost and are built for a fairly high use, so it should hold up very well.

Just for fun I just printed out a 8.5 x 11 photo and I am impressed - I don't see any short comings compared to the Photosmart c7280 it replaced. THAT was an expensive printer to use and possibly the colors are a bit more lively.
