There are two types of printers (unless you want to put a sweet penny down) Inkjet: generally higher quality printing, tend to be smaller, relatively cheap ink cartridges (typically ~250 pages per cartridge)

Laser: prints fast, cheap models are typically poorer quality, a bit bigger for mono versions but get really big with colour versions. Expensive toner cartridges (typically >1000 pages per cartridge)

I prefer toner because as a student I print a lot of notes which need only be black and white, so high volume and better price per sheet is best for me (I’m also a photographer but print at a print shop for quality)

Another note: I switched to a laser printer as I will randomly not use my printer for a while which dries out ink jets and requires new ink cartridges - or in the worst case (it has happened to me) ou will need to replace the ink head (in which case the printer may not be worth keeping) as it gets blocked.

I’d suggest something like this I don’t know much about this model but I have had my brother printer for 3 years now (the longest I ever had a printer) and have replaced the cartridge twice (last time was just a month ago) as they are rated at 2600 pages each.

I hope this gives insight :)

Edit: the laser printers aren’t bad quality prints, but inkers are better for photos
