HP makes some interesting compact laser printers these days that could easily be stored away while you're not using them -- something like the HP LaserJet Pro M15w might be nice for infrequent use.

DRMed toner cartridges with OTA "security" improvements? That sounds like a major anti-feature.
We have 25 printers just decide that they would no longer work with the toner they had been using for 3 months.
But, most of them don’t clean while in standby, and none of them clean themselves when unpowered. That’s the problem with infrequent use.
Lasers aren’t >$1,000 anymore, where it only makes economical sense for those who print in high volumes. There are a TON of laser printers under $100.
No lie, the last laser printer I purchased was actually $24.99, brand new.
I agree. I bought a Epson ET-2750 EcoTank InkJet to replace a really old Brother laser printer and regret it. Text and even graphics (to look at UI designs, etc.) from a laser printer are so much better.
