Why don't you simply use a laser printer?  Ink jet printers are not cost 
efficient for printing large volumes of text documents.  Laser printers are. 
You can get a good laser printer these days for about $150.00.  A basic 
cartridge will print about 5000 pages and cost about $75.00.  Get a laser 
printer.
