To give any reasonable answer will require more information:

1. What are you printing - B&W only, color, photo's?
2. How many pages printed per day? A printer designed for high usage
may cost 2-3x more to operate at a low duty cycle due to servicing
overhead.

I said Canon. The HP employee has a different opinion. And if you need
tech support it is a no brainer.

And canon is even more economical if you don't use their $3000 a gallon ink!
**** update on the dollar store ink..... Still using it and still happy
with it! I did have a problem with some super super glossy paper (that's
right measelnitwit, I don't use canon's overpriced paper either) the ink did
not adhere well. Tried dad's gunuine canon ink on the same paper with the
same results! So I concede some cheap paper will cause problems. SOME. I
have other non canon paper that is simply beautiful with my non canon ink. I
will put my photo prints next to anyone's genuine canon paper and ink and
mine will sell just as well.

OMG... I hate to admit it... but I agree with measekite on this one...
Canon seems to be the most economical printer of the bunch... with
Epson at second... followed by HP and Lexmark.

Stryker

The only correction I have on this is that lexmark is not considered a
printer.
