I have an older Lexmark, and the cartridge price is high, but they're 
big.  I don't do that much printing, but Lexmark may not be a good 
option for consumables -- you have more options than just self-refilling 
for other types.  If that Lexmark doesn't come with cartridges you can 
expect to pay as much as the printer for each of the two needed.
