Would we be better with a laser printer? [View all]

We are elderly and lately we have to call for help in getting ink refilled. Is laser more expensive? We have a nice tech guy who helps us with all of our computer issues but it's an extra expense (plus a wait for him to fit us in his schedule). How much more is a laser printer?
