My first bit of advice would be: unless you need colour, get a basic 
laser printer and bask in the joy of not being party to the inkjet 
cartridge scam (self-destructing printers when faced with refilled or 
non-manufacturer carts are NOT ok!).

When I get around to buying a printer for home, I'll probably get a 
fairly nice laser printer with an internal PostScript RIP. Sure, it 
costs a bucket, but there's nothing like having to replace your toner 
p'haps once a year and having it reasonably priced, too. The quality is 
usually better, they're much nicer to use under linux, etc etc.
