We have the same problem here- infrequent printing and dry ink. For the price of a inkjet all in one, we were able to purchase a color laser all in one through a discount program at work. Considering that I was having to put ink in the old printer at least once a year at ~$50 a pop, we'll have paid off the new printer before the toner runs out.

The output isn't photo quality, but it's good enough for my needs. We rarely print photos.
