Have you considered one of the low-cost laser printers?  Disadvantages are
relatively high per-page cost and the damnably small paper trays.  On the
other hand, they are fast and quiet, the print quality is superb, and use
of small fonts can put a *lot* of text on a page.  It's amazing how much
easier it is to sort out a 900-line program when it all fits on three
pages and you can spread the whole thing out in front of you...  Oh yes,
the paper is a much more convenient size too.  A good choice if situation
and workload permit.
