If most of what you do is B&W, get an (old(er)) laser.
Mom bought a surplus HP LaserJet II back in '00 for $25. Paid $50 for an overhaul, the diagnostics at the time showed almost 1 million pages printed...
Once a year, she get a replacement cartridge delivered and installed by a local outfit for $40, every year the tech says "this is barely used, it doesn't need replacing". She always replaces, needed or not.
On the other hand if most of what you do is color, do a cost-per-print on color lasers. Prices have come down (yay Moores Law!) so it may be worthwhile for you.
