I strongly agree with the laser printer suggestion.
I bought an HP-4L for office use at an outfit where I volunteer - that was at least three computers ago - many years. I bought a duplicate for myself, almost $500 way back then. The 4L is so old that it came with DOS and Win3.1 drivers - yet Win XP has builtin drivers for it. These laser printers have been the best buy I've ever made in the computer field.
The one at the volunteer office must print 100 to 200 pages a week. Mine at home gets relatively infrequent use, but nothing clogs nor jams. They show no signs of wearing out.
One can hope that current laser models last as long and are as trouble-free.
My MUCH newer ink-jet printer is a continual source of print problems, especially after being idle for some months. The manufacturers of ink-jet printers make their profits from selling you ink. A full set of black and color cartridges may cost half the price of an inexpensive ink-jet printer and they don't last very long.
