  Can forget about choosing a budget HP Printer. Either pay for a good one, or just use and throw. Might be able to sell the printer for $10 bucks at online auctions though. But take note that the starter ink pack is smaller quantity.

  somehow, it may actually work out if you get a little laser printer at home... the toner will never "dry up"

  HP laserjet is super man. But I reckon canon won't have as much problems running the same monster.

  I'd say Canon. My old Canon (BJC-210SP) is still going strong, despite the feed roller being wonky sometimes.
  
  Cheaper ink too.

  That's pretty old. I have that too, but it has been relegated.

  I've bought an laser printer 3 years back and it had saved me quite alot because it's economical.

  HP is good, but the ink is bloody expensive. For my printer, just buy 2 cartridges of black and colour cost me a good $150++. But the ink lasts long. Brother is good also, ink is cheap, but colour quality sucks. The red colour when printed looks like pink, blue looks like purple, green looks like don't know what colour, black is dark blue. That one I nothing to say, cheap printer, cheap ink, quality also cheap.
  
  My cousin used a Canon printer, have to say it's good. Printing is smooth, unlike HP, occasionally paper gets eaten. They also have a Lexmark printer, so far so good, not giving any problems, only that it doesn't print colours despite being a colour printer.
