Printers - which one to buy???

Plea for recommendations...

I'm fed up with replacing inkjet printers every couple of years when the print heads become blocked, etc and have decided I will probably replace the latest casualty with a B/W laser type instead. Obviously this will not be any use on photo's and stuff needing colour but its better than nothing at all.

What I would like is a printer which is basically reliable and not too expensive to run. My price range is in the region of £100 to £200, print speed is not important. A RJ45 LAN (802.3) network connection would be a plus but is non-essential. I have considered (and still would) a colour laser printer but are concerned that a "cheap" (say £500 or so) one may just compound my problems with the breakdowns and running costs, etc. Also I understand that at the lower and of the market they are not good (unusable???) for photographs. Also in my consideration is how the technology (and hence affordability) is likely to develop over the next few years.

Thanks,

FujiF
