When we need color, the file goes onto a thumb drive and gets printed at Office Max for a dime a page, perfect every time. It takes a bit of planning ahead, my son learned that last minute print jobs on papers due tomorrow are a bad thing, but it's well worth the hassle.

x2, The Brother laser printer investment was excellent on my end too. There's a trick to get a lot more out of the toner - you have to tape a piece of paper or tape over the optical piece on the toner. Basically they made it so it would prematurely say you need a replacement, put the tape on mine and it lasted for another 2k printed sheets.
