suggestions for printer for college

he just wants something to print B/W without fuss.
He is thinking laser vs inkjet... no carts to dry out from lack of use.
We still have an old HP 4p from 1993 that is performing duties at home

U sure that he would not change his mind later, going to print color
photo of beautiful girls?

If you do go for a colour printer, make sure that the driver allows you to
switch to black cartridge only - a lot cheaper than printing in 'process
black' which is a mixture of all colours.

Also I would suggest that a duplex option laser printer would save a great
deal of paper! Not so useful in an inkjet unless it has equal, small, upper
and lower printing margins.

We're also looking for a compact printer to use on our boat where
space is always at a premium. I'm leaning towards a laser printer
simply because it will be happier being left for long periods unused.
We have no need for colour really, just a basic, small as possible B&W
printer. Duplex would be a good extra.
