Spec me a document printer

[GSDog]

Hi all.

My brother bought a Canon Pixma IP8500 printer a while ago as an all purpose printer. The problem is that it has 8 ink cartridges and they cost £10 each! We're currently paying atleast £20 a month on the ink cartridges alone and we're barely using it for photo printing at all, that is mostly document printing.
So I'm basically looking for a fairly cheap, reliable, colour printer for document printing and it must be cheap to run!
I know very little about printers so any help would be appreciated. I don't really want to spend more than £40-50 and would consider buying second hand if you think it's worth it.

I will keep the Canon printer for photo prints only and the new printer will be used for documents.

EDIT: Forgot to add, it has to work with Vista and I would like it to be a network printer.

Thanks for the replies.

I didn't realise they would be that expensive. I will keep an eye on auction sites to see if I can pickup a good deal. I don't think I need a network printer but it would be very useful.
I currently have the Canon plugged into a PC on the home network and all the other PCs on the network print via that PC.
It can be annoying because the PC has to be left on all the time and I haven't been able to get my Vista PC to work with the printer because the Canon is attached to an Windows XP PC and it refuses to print, saying it's using the wrong kind of driver.

Isn't the sensible option here to go for compatible cartridges for the Canon? My usual supplier looks to be doing 12 cartridges for £10 (pick the colours you need) for that printer.

I did try those cheaper cartridges and they were awful. It leaked and the colours looked terrible.
