And which is better for basic, every day things?
I’ve been looking into getting a printer for my home office, but frankly I’m confused at the different printer options and the differences between them.
Please help!

Inkjet printers use liquid ink. Generally the cartridges are smaller (there are printers that you can just fill a tank with ink, but most domestic printers have replaceable cartridges), and if you don’t use the printer very often the nozzle part can get clogged and need to run a cleaning cycle to fix that. Inkjet printers tend to be cheaper to buy but slower/more expensive to print larger volumes.
Laser printers use toner powder that is fixed to the page with the application of heat. Laser printers tend to be bigger, the toner cartridges last longer and need less maintenance cycles, but may be more difficult to maintain at home due to the heated parts. Laser printers are faster and cheaper to print large volumes but more expensive to set up initially.
