When printing little, laser is more reliable. My experience with inkjets 
not used frequently is that the nozzles dry up or obstruct, and cleaning 
them wastes ink. A laser not used for months will print instantly and 
perfectly when powered up.

I also prefer networked printers; networked postscript or pdf is 
supported out of the box. An USB printer has chances of not working 
(well) with Linux.

And colour in lasers is just fine.
