When my HP deskjet died I followed some advise from Griff went and bought a Cannon Colour Laser installed it. Get used to print the odd letter, a CV but less so now. I also own a separate Cannon A4 flatbed scanner, I mention this as they try to combine under a common app. On the whole go for a Colour Laser the toner costs a bomb but you don't have to change very often, It has been moaning about the magenta take it out vigorous shake plug it back in, still works!..

I have a Brother laser printer(monochrome).
It's around 10 years old, I have not yet had to change the cartridge.

Inkjets are, IMO, not worth their price anymore. They were the only way to get colour in the days when home black-and-White laser printers were expensive, and colour laser printers were unavailable. Today, I would go for a colour laser printer every time.
Advantages:
- The toner cartridge for a laser printer typically lasts for thousands of pages (less for the toner cartridge that comes with the printer)
- The toner doesn't dry out (no ink cartridges wasted)
- The print head doesn't require cleaning (no ink wasted)
Disadvantages:
- Cost. A laser printer is much more expensive than an inkjet.
- The cost of the toner is higher than the cost of inkjet cartridges. This is offset by the number of prints - thousands as opposed to (at best) hundreds.
Others have recommended printers. I have been using he same printer (Brother HL-3040CN) for the last 6-7 years, so I know nothing about later models.

...for varying values of "much". I paid $100 for my HP LaserJet Pro CP1025nw years ago. I've paid, I believe, around $46 for a set of replacement color toner cartridges, which I still haven't used as the original "starter cartridges" still aren't used.

See above. An inkjet would've dried many times over in my case.

All I can say is that both laser printers and toner are a lot cheaper where you live than they are in Israel.
The cheapest price for an HP LaserJet Pro (the CP1025) in Israel is NIS 780 (~ USD 225).
The cheapest price for a single, original toner cartridge (1 of 4) is NIS 200 (~ USD 57).
(There are cheaper laser printers, but I wanted to compare like with like.)

I have a Fuji Xerox M225 dw laser (a variant model also has fax, ummm, yay? not!).
(I believe there's a Samsung with an almost identical model number that is the same)
only mono, but it's got ADF and of course scanning.
hardware is great, the windows app package - sub par. (using on linux so don't care that much)
I almost went samsung (different model), but: samsung here decided to pass all their consumer printer sales to HP
and I loath the way HP does printers, yes some of their equipment is good, but seems like...
- every time you start the [windows] app,
- every time toner is low (well ink, when on an ink jet which is pretty often)
- every time you put in a new toner/ink
- every holiday or if it rains
- seems sometimes like every week just because
they are trying to ram their ink/toner subscription down your throat.
(sure, cheaper than the overpriced off the shelf shop prices, but...)
I print a dozen pages per year, the wife less... with the kids maybe all up 100 pages a year
... so yeah, I really need that consumables subscription like I need another hole in my head,
so, umm, so I can be stocked and always ready with [many] ink packs that'll be useless when the crap quality printer decides to die.
Final word: any model/brand: don't buy cheapest, (even mid range check non biased reviews)
built in EOL seems to be a very loud rumour these days, yes the evidence is still circumstantial but it's piling up big time - where there's smoke...

Just like several others have said already: I may print a couple pages every month, so two thirds of the ink is spent at cleaning the print head. Not always with any great success, either.
So I am seriously considering switching to a laser. One answer I would like to have: I will be using it as photo printer, for photos that will be framed for the living room wall. They may be hit by direct sunlight for several hours a day. How do laser colors stand up against ink jet colors, in durability?
Have you tried printing out the same photo on your old ink jet before stuffing it away, and on your brand new laser printer, and let the two prints in direct sunlight, side by side, for an entire summer or two?
The ink in the first generations of ink jet printers faded within a few weeks in indoor light; a day or two in sunlight would completely wash them out. That has changed drastically: Professional photo printers of today make copies that can hang in bright light for years. Our office has had the same photos on the wall since before I started in this job ten years ago; they still have no visible trace of fading. One of my colleagues, now retired, is an excellent photographer, and the prints were made on his private Epson printer - he told me that it was a great buy at around 2500 Euro - it can make A1 size prints (60 cm wide paper roll), on canvas, or on sturdy carton. Not what you need for printing out Christmas cards ... But the quality is excellent. Durability is excellent.
I know that I laser printes stop at A3 size - less than I want for wall mounted photos. Laser printers can't print on canvas. If also the colors are less durable, then I am not so sure any more. If I pick up my old photography hobby, I will be printing more regularly. Then I might buy some large Epson printer (but probably not A1 size!) and announce to my hobby photographer friends and colleagues that I can make large-size printouts for them, for the cost of the ink and paper. That will help keeping the print head from drying up.
Until I pick up the old photo hobby again, I am sure that I will be better served by a laser printer.

Laser.
Unless you want something special, you could go for a laser multifunction...
I got a Brother and I'm super happy with it... I started with this brand after seeing how an HP died after 5 months of use in a company I worked years ago... After that HP they bought a ugly as hell brother... It worked like the HP, but after 5 years of working it stopped working because an internal gear was completely flat (lost all it's teeth).
In that company were so in love with that solid printer that they thought of making the gear themselves in metal to repair the printer... At the end they bought a new one and since that day brother is what I've been using.
I currently have the MFC9430CDW (which is now an old model) but have got no problems with it, can print wirelessly, from LAN and from USB.
Not that expensive and it takes 30 seconds max to be ready to print.
It also can scan multiple pages at once given it has two paper sources available.
Currently my black toner is yelling at me... it's been like this for at least one year and a half... :P
Mine is not used that much, but when I need it it works well.
Hope this helps.

Like OriginalGriff mentioned: get a color laser. I have the same as he does and the thing simply works, no matter how long you don't use it between times you do.

bitcoin uses blockchain
so blockchain is peer to peer,
every peer stores the data
so I wonder where does the data of all the bitcoins is stored?
who is peer in case of bitcoin?
so that peer gets data related to bitcoins all over the world?
as the bitcoins grow isnt it becomes slower and slower to retrieve information?

That's not true and you know it.
And allow me to remark that you didn't write a "serious reply" for his question too.

ahhh, but it was a serious reply, not to the the question
rather he very seriously dissed us all!
OTOH the OP's question, consider what is actually being asked:
- a summarised form of OP's question: how does bitcoin's blockchain work?
not really a question for the lounge - too broad, particularly when google will point you to many answers (some from very smart people).

I'd be happy to be proven wrong. It happens all the time. This thread is proof. 
Just the other day, for example, someone new asked how to open source files. No serious responses and several saying they should not be asking code questions in the Lounge. It wasn't a code question, nevermind the fact that honey codewitch discusses code all day long and no one complains.
If you don't think there's bias against new members on CP then you are part of the problem.

You make valid points. I agree.

There were complaints in the beginning, because there were some people that misunderstood the Posting Rules[^], more specifically the second paragraph.
On the other hand, one could discuss whether or not some people in this thread should reread the #1 rule between the first and second paragraph.
