That is very good advice although I would take it a step further and say
spend a little more upfront (if necessary) to buy a laser printer.  The
cost per page difference is tremendous.  If you absolutely need color
then the price of a laser printer jumps but if black & white and a whole
bunch of shades of gray will suffice, you cannot beat a laser printer
for value.
