I'll never buy another inkjet printer again. If I want color I'll get a color laser printer - they may be more expensive but I wouldn't have to deal with clogs or inks drying out.
When ink dries out, it does not allow you to scan...

If you do ink recycling at Staples, you have to buy $50 ink every 180 days. That $50 qualifies you to get $240 back from staples, for 120 ink cartridges. There are other costs, but Staples is paying you!
So, unless you really print a lot, the argument isn't really valid.
Now, do you have to print periodically to make sure the ink does not dry up in the printhead, yes!
And, I have 3 workforce printers working just fine with both Epson and Third Part Cartridges.
Regarding laser printers? I have had a multitude, including one of the original HP LaserJet Pluses. The issue is one of continued support: it just isn't there. I have thrown a ways dozens of them!

The black cartridges are $20 and rated for 150 pages, the color cartridges are $7 each and rated for 140 pages. So yeah you can save over 25% on color cartridges if you recycle at Staples, but there are better printers for cheaper cost per page such as the Epson Ecotank line.

The new generation of "smart" printers will prompt users to waste as much ink as possible (test pages, head alignments, nozzle cleaning...etc ) & it will "NOT" use all the ink in the cartridge.
Plus, It will detect generic or refilled cartridges and render them useless.
If you want photos printed, it's cheaper to take to a store that does digital prints, or even order them online.
If you want a good cheap printer for the occasional document, B&W laser printer is the way to go. Your toner will last seemingly forever and it will print 3-10x faster than inkjet.
If you want to make color prints, you get the same benefit as above with Color Laser, but your initial cost will be a bit more. Laser works fine for color documents, quick pictures, etc, but you won't get professional looking photos from it. However, it is still cheaper to just order prints for photos than buy/use an inkjet, and they will be better quality than inkjet as well.
