I took on a new consulting job which will necessitate me printing documents at home.

I hate home printers, I've avoided owning one for a long long time. Now I need one of these ink eating pieces of shit.

What printer am I going to hate the least?

I'm thinking a laser-jet maybe? I will only need to generate black and white documents.

You can get a nice HP multi-function laser printer/scanner/fax for dead cheap. Toner carts. are pretty dear but waaaaaay cheaper than inkjet ink. If you're doing a higher volume ie. more than 1000 sheets a month then consider a business class model with both a higher duty cycle and a cheaper per page cost, it'll cost you more up front but in the long run you get it back.

I used to buy IT equipment for a living and had the best luck with HP (printers). I only bought a few Brothers and they were crap but others have had good luck with the brand. Samsung also makes a good home quality printer, if you can find them on sale then you probably won't be disappointed.
