I'm not a fan of inkjets in anything smaller than stuff like 48" wide plotters.

I've always found that while the initial outlay for the printer is higher, the per-page cost for laser is significantly lower. Part of this is artificial though as companies like HP and Lexmark sell their inkjet printers at a very low margin, or even a loss sometimes because the ink businuess is so profitable.

Also, if you aren't a frequent printer, you don't have to worry about toner drying out or nozzles plugging/gumming up. If you are a frequent printer, you can go broke paying for ink.

Oh, and laser doesn't run when it gets moist. Additionally, for text, laser looks far, far more professional.

Of course, if you're looking for photo quality printing, one of those in a laser is going to cost you a few grand at least.

Lastly, I don't know if they are still offering it, but I recall that last year, Staples was offering a $50 (I think it was $50) credit towards a new printer if you brought in your old printer. Not sure what the conditions were beyond that - like if it had to be an MFC or a certain price minimum, certain vendors only, etc...
(I have old printers on the shelf if the deal is still on and you need one)
