10 years ago. I’m in Japan and I go to the nearest convenience store, transfer the pdf document to the printer and get a clean print. I only use the printer for two pages a month to post the document, stamped with my company hanko, to a traditional Japanese big company.

The only time that I regret not having a printer is when it is pouring with rain on print day.

Why? Because dried up ink was a rip off.

Toner printers work really well, and don’t “dry up”. If you’re printing on a regular basis, I cannot see why you wouldn’t get a good quality laser printer. If you don’t have room in your desk or something, that makes sense, but if that’s the only reason, I recommend looking further into it.
I have an HP M15w laser printer. It's black only but that's enough for my purposes. It's so small I don't know how someone could use lack of space as a justification for not having one.

Costs £102 directly from HP in the UK.
