The best printer decision I ever made was to quit buying disposable inkjets and purchase a cheap Brother laser printer instead.
I've had it for about 8 years now and it's still going strong. I don't print much (which is why the inkjets kept clogging up stopped working), but about 2000 pages later, it's only on its second toner cartridge and will probably not run out for years.
I'm kind of hoping that it breaks so I can replace it with a color laser, but it's been extremely reliable.
