Inkjet?
I never had much luck with them — for home use. I didn’t print enough to keep the cartridges flowing. Once one of the nozzles clogged, it seemed to kill the whole cartridge. Even opening the clog didn’t help. Also, it seemed that, when a cartridge did run out, the new replacement would not work — the printer would not recognize it, even though it was a manufacturer brand.
About 2005, I found a b/w laser printer on a Black Friday sale - $200. I bought it. Never had a problem, except when I upgraded to Win7 64-bit. No drivers for it.
A couple of years later, I found a color laser on a Black Friday sale - $150. It still works like a charm.

For the cost vs usage, you might look around. B/w lasers are as low as $50 and color lasers are around $150 up.
After about ten years and untold Little League flyers through my used $40.00 Laserjet4, whose toner that came with it lasted 2 years, I retired it, though it still works. I am now using a HP LJ1320 that I picked up at auction for $14.00.
