Reliable inkjet *not* for photo use specifically

    I've more or less decided that I will do any A4 or larger printing
    by sending the CF card or CD/DVD to a regular photo processing
    lab (or photobox.co.uk , etc).

    What I've found is that my "fairly expensive" Canon i990 drinks ink
    and the cost and inconvenience of reordering replacement ink
    cartridges has driven me daft. I decided to purchase a small
    Canon dye-sub printer for doing postcard sized 6x4s. Anything
    bigger I'll send off to a lab since I'm too frustrated to do
    A4 printing of photos economically at home.

    My question is a bit unorthodox. Can anyone here recommend
    a reliable inkjet which is good for document printing and the
    odd webpage (where photo fidelity isn't an issue). I'd prefer
    one with less ink tanks since the 7 cartridge i990 is just way
    too overspecced for general usage. I'd consider a Canon, HP
    or Epson. I'm not way gone on Lexmark as I've heard they
    can be finnicky and not as reliable.

    So I am looking for a recommendation for a printer which doesn't
    need to make the cut for photo printing. It needs to have
    fairly longlasting (in relative terms) black inks and probably
    a combined colour ink cartridge.
