I think a laser printer is nice because the toner doesn't dry out. You can let it sit for a while and be able to print again no problem.
(IMO) Those are only good if you're OK with using generic print carts.
I missed the first posting of the above by Nightfox. If I need good quality colour prints I go to one of the bigger places to have them done but, for day to day stuff, I can live with Black and White. I like having a printer since the nearest place I can get things printed is a 30 minute drive from here so about 5 years back I got a Samsung Laser mainly because, as Nightfox
mentioned, you don't have to worry about toner drying up like liquid ink..
..in fact I am still using the original years old cartridge that came with
the printer which also sits for months frozen (central Ontario, Canada) over the winter while I'm away and obviously does not get used a lot day to day either so dry toner has been a life saver for me.
