I've learned to hate inkjets, having owned five of them-- all but one of them I acquired as a special promotion because it came bundled with the computer (and all but one of these are multifunction). I have three lasers as well. To reinforce what you wrote, one of each type is Lexmark and they are pure crap. As an historical note, Lexmark began as an offshoot of IBM. Back when they first started, they gave my software company whatever I wanted for free, and it was actually pretty high quality at the time (until that unit was sold off).

With that little printing, you can even pick up a laser on Craigslist. My B&W laser -- the one printer I use the most often of any of them -- is an HP Laserjet 4MP, which has to be around 20 years old. Absolutely built like a tank. If it ever broke, I'd likely try to buy another one over anything modern. I have a more modern HP color laser but I rarely have a need for color and thus it just sits there.
