I seem to go through an HP 21 cartridge each week and find it too expensive.

In Consumer Reports article, Epson printers had the least cost per page. Also you can get cheaper but good cartridges at Staples, CarrotInk and PrintPal, according to article. Epsons are Mac compatible.

I do a fair amount of printing both for home use and work and I had an Epson colour stylus 600 but it wasn't working right so I bought a Lexmark Z25 and it is Mac compatible. In addition, when you buy the higher performance ink (it costs more than the low grade one - can't think of the techincal term right now), you get a lot more printing out of it and when the ink remaining window shows you that you don't have ink, you can get a least 10 more pages of printing out of it. Future Shop is a great place to buy ink and you can get 2 ink cartridges for one price, either one black and one colour and I think you can get 2 black or 2 colour.
Good luck

Hi helpless,
Sorry that I couldn't help you, about usage. You must do a lot of printing. It sounds like you would be better served by investing in a laser printer instead. Just about every printer will say on the package or on their web site whether they are compatible with Mac OS X.
Best of luck.

most printer software and drivers have options to use less ink ... simply turn the setting down to use less ...
