  I owned exactly one ink jet printer. Every time I went to use it, it was clogged, out of ink, etc. Only bought one set of cartridges for it and then chucked it all in the bin. I only buy B&W laser printers, currently using a Brother MFC - printer, copier, scanner, duplexer. Always works. A toner cartridge lasts about 2 years and buy white-label equivalent. It costs less than half of the Brother branded one.

  Color laser is usually too expensive and bulky for home use. The Canon PIXMA six ink like seems to be pretty resistant to drying up and clogging. The inks just run out really fast and cost a lot, but that doesn't matter if you only print a few pages a year.

There are small color laserprinters, but they need expensive DRM protected cartridges so they are as bad as cheap inkjets. > The Canon PIXMA six ink like seems to be pretty resistant to drying up and clogging. The inks just run out really fast and cost a lot, but that doesn't matter if you only print a few pages a year. I've owned such a printer. While the output is beautiful, they flush a bit of ink everytime when powered on so while that makes then more resistant to drying up a lot of the expensive ink does not end up on your printouts. Beside that: my print head clogged anyway and the only replacement was as expensive as a new printer. Won't recommend.
