Need to replace my 20 year old HP Laserjet printer and although I have a

Definitely not! Inkjets are a PITA, heads clogging and small capacity
cartridges. Laser printers just work, and are a lot cheaper to run. ...

One slight problem with lasers ATM is that Canon's main toner cartridge
manufacturing plant was in the path of the tsunami. Canon, of course,
also supply a lot of other brand names with their cartridges. Shortages
are already being reported in the USA and it is far from certain that
other manufacturers will be able to keep up with demand as people switch
to them.

I second the advice to avoid inkjets. They were a big move forward
from dot matrix in their time, but really should be obsolete due to
unreliability and the low cost of lasers. If you dont need fancy
graphics, even a basic laser printer has almost all the advantages.
