Hi,
 
I would recommend a laser printer if you're not doing a lot of printing.  The 
toner in a laser printer does not dry out and a cartridge can last a very long 
time.  I've had a monochrome and color laser printer from Samsung and been very 
happy with them.  I bought my Samsung CLP315 color laser printer nearly four 
years ago and haven't needed to replace the starter toner cartridge that came 
with the printer.  I would give a Samsung SLM2020w monochrome laser printer a 
look.  They are Mac, PC, Airprint compatible and are wireless as well.  They 
have a small footprint at only 13 inches wide and 8 inches deep.  There are no 
inkjet cartridges to dry out and no nozzles to keep clean.  Amazon has them for 
$61.00 USD.
 
HTH,
 
Dan

Thanks Phil, the big reason I have not gotten a printer besides the obvious is 
for this reason print cartridges as I recall can get expensive. It’s a shame to 
hear that they still dry out so quickly. Will have to research this some to see 
if there is a printer suggestion for those of us who might not print very often.
