Once I realized home laser printers were cheap, I switched and it was the best decision on a printer I'll probably ever make. I can get generic toner cartridges for $15-20 that last a long time, don't yell at me if I don't replace according to their schedule, and print black and white super fast.
The printer I bought was a Samsung and cost right around $100. Compare that to my old HP inkjet that cost more than that and required upwards of 5 ink cartridges.
I don't get color printing out of this but I can't recall the last time I needed to print in color. If I want to print photos, it's cheaper and easier to just order them.
