HP has a new ink-jet that sounds great, here is some info from the Feb 4th 
issue of Electronics.

HP TURNS TO A SOUPED-UP INK-JET TO GIVE LASER PRINTERS A RUN FOR THE MONEY

Japanese companies dominate the market for nonimpact printing engines, but
that will change if HP Co. has its way. ... has developed a thermal ink-jet
printer that provides 300 dots/inch print quality - comparable to that of
a laser printer.   What's more, HP's Deskjet printer sells for about
$1,000, around the price of a 24-wire dot-matrix printer.   The US made
printer uses a patented disposable thermal ink-jet print head to print
twice the speed of a dot-matrix model - 240cps in draft and 120 in LQ.
Each print head can do 400 pages before wearing out....   The Deskjet,
which begins shipping this month, represents the first major technology
advance in printers to come out of the U.S. in years.
