My advice: get a mono laser printer. Printing is handy but relatively infrequent for a lot of people these days. If that's your use case, mono laser is the way to go. Toner does not dry out or go bad.
I bought a cheap Canon inkjet and have started refilling it with cheap off-brand ink. It's not particularly as good as the original ink, but for my purposes it works great.
