Who exactly buys an inkjet printer these days? Photo nerds? Who needs anything other than a $99 black-and-white laser?

Parents who need to print out worksheets for their kids homework

Cool. Color laser jets exist.

And inkjet printers with possibility to refill ink banks exists too, so what?

You’re the one who made a point about homework assignments not being printable on an ink jet printer, so you tell me.

Edit: Apologies, you weren’t OP.

No one made that point. First OP asked:

> Who needs anything other than a $99 black-and-white laser?

And the answer was basically parents for the kids.

They still cost more than color laser printers when you factor in the cost of ink.

If you need photo quality, take a memory stick of your photos to Walmart. They can do it better and cheaper.
