Inkjet is fine, I paid for mine 70 or so and about 40 for a 5 year warranty extension. I think the biggest problem is dust though, so when not using it, consider removing the paper and closing all the lids. My Canon with built-in scanner now survived 2 years without any problems. And the drivers work well, at least on macOS. Also I can print labels with it.
One caution: I don’t know if it is still a thing, but inkjets used to dry out pretty badly if you left them idle for too long. Sometimes a thorough cleaning would work, but sometimes not. I push non-technical family members to get cheap laser printers.
I know somehow who had an inkjet that he used maybe twice a year. It just worked for years, he never even had to replace the ink I think. But when we didn't use it, he closed all the lids and put it back into the shelf :D
So now I try something similar but not that strict. Also I like about inkjet that it can print photos etc.
