You should probably say what kind of things are important to you. 
Colour, printing photos, or just documents...

I use a second-hand Hewlett Packard laser printer.  The older ones are
built like a tank, and last forever.

Inkjet's can be a problem with low-volume printing, the ink can dry out
or gunk up between use (depends on how little you print), but even if
you use it often enough to avoid that, they waste much of their tiny
amount of expensive ink during their cleaning routine.  Laser toner is
much more cost effective than ink.

About the only cost effective inkjets are the ones with the large
outboard ink tanks, with continuous feed tubes to the head.  Their
large refill bottles are about the only ones that are not a monumental
rip off, and you only have to top up the tanks that are actually low on
ink.

But you still have to contend with the clogged heads that plague
inkjets.  Remember that issue's made worse with cheap and nasty paper.
