Question: I do not print color in my printer to save refill costs. But I surprise to learn today that my printer do not print in color anymore. I hardly printed in color since I refilled it.
Answer: If you remember, when you loaded the cartridge for the first time, it came in an air tight container. probably you might also remember to remove a plastic tab from the cartridge before loading in the printer. Most cartridges do not last more than 4 months whether you use them or not. If your printer is a simple inkjet printer, the cartridge has a sponge in it, which keep in the ink holding. As the cartridge is not in air-tight condition anymore once you load it, water slowly evaporates and leaving the cartridge dried out after several months. This is the reason, we should keep using color also as required. This is not applicable if you empty a cartridge very frequently like every month or so.

Question: Which printer I should buy?
Solution: Before you buy the selected printer, see what cartridges it needs? How much they cost? If they are more than a few dollars a months, (ex: $3 or $4 a month) on an average, then don't buy them.

Question: Which printer should I buy? InkJet or Laser?
Answer: Do yo you it for home/school/personal needs? Buy an inkjet printer. Do you also do lot of College Project work or have Home Office? Then buy an Inkjet Printer and also a cheap Laser printer. Again, see how much that Laser cartridge costs you and is it available easily in the local stores, before you buy.

Question: Which inkjet printer should I buy? All-in-One or just with print only?
Answer: I suggest you to buy an All-in-one, though it is bulky. It comes with scanner, fax, copier, printer functionality. As you have all of them, you save place and their cartridges are relatively cheap and last for long time then simple inkjet printers.

Question: I am looking to Print all my pictures at home? Which is the best printer?
Answer: Printing at home is not economical and you do not get Photo Lab printing results. So I don't suggest to Print a lot of pictures at home. Occasional printing is OK. Any printer can print with a reasonable print quality.
