I went laser, nothing fancy, just one of those that goes for $89 when the sales are on.
It is a Xerox, got it from DSE about two years ago. Doesn't have a scanner tho.
Dunno how many prints I've got from it so far(I'm a light user) but I'm still going on the original toner cartridge supplied.
Xerox claims the cartridge is good for ~5000 pages of average print density(text)... try doing that with a bubblejet on the supplied ink!
When it runs out I'm just going to buy a new printer.
(and strip the old one for parts
)
