As reported by The Reg, HP chief financial officer Marie Myers was talking to investors at the UBS Global Technology conference about the tech giant's subscription model.
I don’t know how many people print a great deal any more.
Also, many years back, at a time when I printed more, I switched to a black-and-white laser printer when I realized that I only ever printed black-and-white documents, and the consumables cost was significantly lower. They don’t clog up the way inkjets do, and the toner cartridges last for ages. And color lasers are pretty cheap these days too. They won’t print photos as prettily as inkjets will, but they’ll get the job done for most documents.
If you’re printing photos, okay, get yourself an inkjet, but I suspect that for most people, a laser printer is fine.
One quirk: laser printers do tend to briefly draw a lot of power when they first come on, which inkjets do not. If you’re running it on some kind of inverter, that might matter to you.

Yea,
We mainly print stuff for D&D, and documents. Got a cheap laser printer. Printed thousands of sheets, on our second toaner.
When we need pictures printed, we just go to the local print shop and get them for $0.50 each.
