Time to for an one in one color laser printer instead of inkjet?

Ink cartridges are so expensive especially when printing a lot of web 
pages and documents at home in both colors and B&W with previous HP 
OfficeJet Pros (8600 and 8028e). Also, copying, scanning, and faxing 
through old fashion phone lines. Do toners last longer? Are laser ones 
any better even though they cost more? I noticed laser types are HUGE! 
Quality results aren't required, but nice to have for rare photos, 
cards, etc.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly.
