This was me until a few months ago. If you don't print frequently you have two options:

1. Buy an inkjet and pray that it prints every time you need to use it.

2. Spend a little more for a lazer and never worry again.

Inkjets only make sense if you print a lot of photographs, which is a vanishingly tiny portion of the market.

3. Use the public library

I don't know exactly what premium I'm paying per-page to print stuff at the FedEx Office location a couple of blocks away on the rare occasions when I really need something on paper, but whenever I see a discussion like this about the endless compromises and annoyances in home printer ownership I feel like I'm really getting a bargain by comparison

Not such an attractive option this year.
