If you want to print out 50+ page manuals, laser with a duplexer is the only
way that is tolerably fast (12ppm or more), unless you don't mind waiting.
Lasers are getting cheaper, but beware of windows GDI-only ones. If it takes
postscript files, it'll work in linux.

Inkjets rarely have duplexers (i've never seen one).

The running-cost per page is lower with laser. One toner cartridge usually
lasts between 5000-15000 pages on mine (cheap-option cartridge has half the
toner).
