I have never been charged (or my univesity) for publishing, only a couple of times I did have to pass some charges for colour pictures, but usually having an article published (in my field) is free. Now getting printed or electronic copies of the article once it's published is another matter.
I've been a co-author of two book chapters, for one of them I got a copy of the book (sold at around €160), for the other only the main author got the book.
