What is a good printer (concerning ink life) for occasional use?

One of my friends had a printer that she used every few months but it was always dry. It turned out that the printer used the ink to keep the nozzles from drying out. I need a colour printer with a long ink life, even if the printer isn't being used. It also needs to be low cost because I don't want to spend a pile of money on a printer that is rarely used. Is this possible?

Is there a way to extend the ink life? Such as removing the cartridges when not in use?

    Get a laser printer, they almost never run out of ink. Here is a good deal on one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007IFVJK/...
