"Don't do it then" might be the most reasonable option,depending on the frequency of use. If I had to buy a color printer for all the color printing I did during the last decade, it still would have cost me at least 10x more than paying through the nose for each printout - and that's for a cheap printer, never mind maintenance and the quality of the results. In other words, ownership makes sense only from some level of usage.
