All told, about $300. Actually, if you need to save money at all costs (huh?), you can get just TeX and the previewer for $200. I am assuming that you have a modem, and that you can access a mini/mainframe TeX installation for printing. This way you just upload the .dvi file and print it out. You may even get typesetter quality this way. If you need decent quality output you need at least a 24-pin printer. [I have seen TeXtures (on Mac) output on an ImagewriterII. Yucky]. So you may have to consider the printer cost if you don't already have it.
