OfficeJet Pro Premier inkjet back in '08 for $290. Buy $140 in ink every other year. Replaced two printheads last year, $132. 8000 pages in 8 years; we've got a Brother B&W for bulk and monochrome jobs. So, $0.14 per page seems high, but two client meetings were clearly sold on reports/printouts in color (Priceless!), and $10 a month is pretty cheap to pay for that. Plus a decade of reliability, although like everything it's likely "they just don't make them like that any more."
Fax/scan/print/scan-to-network/photo cards, duplex, wired & wifi, mail-print, Cloud print, web interface. And good open source drivers!

What do you guys use at home for multi-function printers (those that can also scan/copy as well as print...faxing too I guess although I have a fax service for that).
My wife insists on a color printer, and I told her I prefer lasers and do NOT want inkjets given my experience with inkjets in the past. (In the end, I don't think inkjets are that much of a better value if at all, and I like the fact that lasers don't smudge or run when touched if wet.)
