First thing you need to decide is how much you want to print. Laser
printers are cheaper to run and give better quality.
Most inkjets have a black ink cartridge in addition to a multi color one.
 If you'll be only printing in black, than obviously you won't need the
high quality color photo capability, and such inkjet printers are quite
cheap. So I guess you could go for the cheapest inkjet, just pay attention
to the linux support (which has gotten pretty good recently).

BTW, I have a HP 930c for give away. Anybody who wants to come to Hyogo
can pick it up ;)
