I have a HP Photosmart 7520 printer. It gets intermittent use, the
problem is it needs sorting almost every time I wish to use it. The
cartridges dry, or some other problem develops. I suspect it is not
happy with spending quite long periods of time idle. I am seriously
considering getting a laser printer, are these as liable to problems
through inactivity? If not would someone care to make a recommendation?
I would like colour but an associated scanner is not necessary. TIA

No brainer, I have a Lexmark CS410DN (duplex, networked) and it has been
fine. Not too bad at all for photos, especially if you laminate them
(although there is some sort of problem printing photos in Word documents).

Had a Dell before that, also good until the input circuitry died so I've
gone off them a bit.
