Owning a laser printer instead of an inkjet changes the economics of home printing drastically. Also the time savings of not having to physically go to the libr

  It mostly changed the economics of my frustration. I’ve never owned an inkjet printer that didn’t infuriate me at least every other print. The laserjet I’ve owned for 4ish years now has yet to infuriate me.

    Yeah laser is overwhelmingly the way to go. The only problem Ive encounteres is that the costs for wide format go through the roof. I need to print 11x17's regularly but infrequently. The solution i figured out was to get a good consumer all-in-one laser for normal size paper, and then a wideformat inkjet. I hate havung two printers, but the total cost is like $600 instead of $2500+.

  I have not one but two inkjet printers at home. One's an all-in-one, the other is a large format photo printer. It's been so long since I've used either that the ink is probably dried up. On the other hand, I have a cheap laser printer and it just works. I don't print a lot. I've gotten out of the habit of printing and filing most things and just keep a PDF. But there's still a bunch of random stuff: recipes, trail maps, various things I do need to send as physical copies, etc. I don't need to print it all and could take 30 minutes to print the things I do need at Staples or wherever, but I have a home office and it's a lot easier to just print out a few pages every now and then.
