I always said, unless you have a real need or desire to have a colour printer, Laser is the way to go.
I've had two, Samsung and Brother and both work perfectly every time I extremely rarely get them out. The toner cartridges last forever (figuratively speaking) for just normal letter or office work.Bith mine were free, chucked out at work because they had faults showing, both taken home, a Google and half an hour later they're working perfectly.
That said, I havnt seen how much they are nowadays.
Equally, every home type cartridge printer we ever had has been an utter waste of money. Unless you're prepared to probably pay for original cartridges and use them regularly, they pack up. Too much aggro, too much cost IME.
