What are your requirements - type of documents being printed, quantum of printing per month, do you need color or is monochrome enough, budget limit, etc?

Initial cost of investing in a Laser Printer is high and but their cost per print is highly low compared to an Inkjet Printer.

If you are just planning to take a hell lot monochrome print outs, then HP LaserJet p1007 is the cheapest and will cost just over 5k. I have the same printer. Colour Laser printers are expensive.

Colour Inkjet Printers can be bought for just 2.5k and Print-Scan-Copy start from 4k only.
