What do you want to do?

For sharp black text--    laser

To print photos or color documents where quality is more important than
speed--    inkjet

To print photos or color documents where speed is more important than
quality--    color laser, but debatable

Original purchase cost--  inkjet

Cost per page--    laser

Long term durability of output--   laser, but the gap is closing

Quick color prints (kids artwork and day to day home use)-- inkjet

Speed of text documents--   laser

Long term mechanical reliability--   Laser

FWIW, in my stores, all we have are lasers ranging from a Apple
LaserWriterII (upgraded to a IIg with a controller board swap) from about
1987 to a 2003 HP 8150N network workhorse. Other than a few rollers drying
out, we have hade no mechanical problems with any of our laser printers.

At home I just retired a Color Stylewriter 1500 (from 1996 with very low
page count- under 1000) because it was not usable in OS X. I replaced it
with an Epson C82 (with a second one for the kids to use on their
computers).

HTH,

Len
