IMO if you print only occasionally at home, laser printers are the way to go. No more frantically realizing that all my print heads are gummed up 2 days before taxes are due.
Laser printers are really bad in terms of energy use if you don't turn them off (the toner is kept warm at all times) and interior air pollution, two problems inkjet printers avoid entirely.
Yes, don't expect photo quality from them, but if you want some documents, or tickets or what ever in paper form they are perfect. And you don't need to care about drying up ink.
