Do not get an ink printer. Do not get an ink printer. Since my student days in the early 2000s, I have been buying laser printers, only two in total since then. They have been affordable even as a student in Germany with no money. The first was 180€ I think (not sure), the second slightly more expensive but comes with a useful scanner. It doubles as a photocopier as well. I'm not printing very often, but also not never. The first printer got relatively heavy use during University, the second one saw large visa-related bouts of use. Among the two printers, I only remember replacing the toner cartridge... two or three times. In almost two decades. More parts than that are replaceable, I just did not have to. Printing is quick. Really quick. A page comes out in a second or two. Quality is amazing. Inkjets are painfully slow, expensive, break down easily, and the quality looks like crap. My printers have every only been monochrome, but I never really missed color so far. I don't know if color lasers are significantly more expensive, what their toner usage is, or how easily they break down. The scanner part is of course a color scanner.
