 I do most of my printing on my laser, and use the inkjet only
 occasionally. I don't run into issues where I find myself out of
 ink after not using it. I wonder if the reason is it's one of those
 printers that has separate tanks for each color (and *two* black tanks,
 one for pictures and one for prints).

The other nice thing is that you can replace tanks one by one. On more
than one occasion I've run out of one color and been able to replace
that one tank instead of throwing out an otherwise full tank.

I went through a divorce, and a cheap Canon inkjet MFP with a document
feeder saved me from keeping and dealing with reams of paperwork.

At the same time, I changed my job from working at a single site to
managing several sites. I got rid of my desk, started hoteling, and
scanned all of my paperwork to PDFs so I could take it along with me.
Once you get in the habit, it's nice having everything oline and
searchable.
