For a lot of people a laserprinter is probably better than an inkjet, especially given that a lot of people don't print much these days. And you can get even color lasers for a pretty good price these days. I've had a B&W laser at home forever. About a year ago, I just got rid of my inkjet rather than spending a bunch of money to get new ink. It was a large format photo printer and was sometimes nice to have but not worth it.

I've found that Walmart is perfectly acceptable (and cheap) for printing normal photographs (pickup in an hour!) and if I want to go larger they offer that too.

Of course you can order things printed online and shipped, but a black-and-white laser covers most of my needs there.

Yeah, I don't need many photos printed and, when I do, there are lots of options that don't involve $100+ in ink cartridges. I did sometimes print color maps too but B&W is usually fine at the end of the day, I can print a map, or (usually) on a phone/tablet works.
