I strongly recommend a laser printer over an inkjet even for home

worth the lack of colour, IMO.
How do they compare for light and occasional use? I'm thinking in
terms of a few pages, a few times a year, so presumably the
consumables become perishables.
In exactly that scenario, ink nozzles can dry out, rendering your inkjet
printer inoperable. I only print every few weeks, and if I had to
replace ink for every print just because it dried out, I think I might
become angry. My laser printer works even after months of inactivity.
For the record, I completely agree with Mike. I also would not buy a
printer that did not speak Postscript. My PS-speaking LaserJet was
working as fast as I could edit /etc/printcap - no CUPS, no drivers, no
ghostscript, no filters.
