Don’t print much != never print anything. I print approximately 20 pages a month. I have been paying $1 every two months for it. Now I’ll be paying on average $3 every two months. I hate HP for doing this but this is not enough of an impetus for me to move now. I paid $30 for the printer. I prefer inkjet because I print photos and recipes. I’ll be moving to an EPSON tank when I decide I’m done with HP. But for now it’s actually a great service for me. (It’s just my preference)

Depending on what you're printing photos for, you may find it more convenient/a better fit to use a laser for text based things (including recipes), and getting photos printed at a print center (better color fidelity, lots of high quality paper options, etc). That's what I do, but, again, it's rare I print photos (and when I do it's generally for display or similar, so stuff that an at home consumer printer is just subpar for).

Living in a dry climate, rarely printing usually meant by the time I needed to print again my ink cartridges had dried up (or at least enough to not dispense ink anymore). Not sure if this is still true today.
I've been using cheap laser printers for many years and will never go back to inkjets! But my needs are very simple, not trying to print photos.
