The laser printer is a good solution- we have a monochrome Samsung ML-2010 we got for $25 after rebate about 5 years ago and all we have done is buy toner powder and refill it.

And , if we need color, we bought a Brother all-in-one dude for like $50 that does the job. Unlike most of the other big names, we can buy the cartridges for about $1 each from Meritline and they work just fine.

So, check the price of the ink before you buy the printer. They all work great now- I doubt the differences in the printers are enough to matter to the average joe.
