Printer for dell inspiron 1520 laptop run...

Kodak has just come out with a fairly low cost printer/scanner combo that has low cost ink. The printer sells for $149 and ink tends to run about $15 per cartridge.
You can also get any number of low cost ink jets from HP.
There are re-manufactured HP cartridges that are low priced as well if you really need to keep costs down.
Also, check www.frys.com. They have a Canon printer/scanner on sale for $29.99, plus shipping. Almost worht tossing the printer when the ink goes out.
