I finally wised up many years ago and bought a Brother laser printer after wasting far too much money on inkjets. At the time it was a bigger cost but it's more than paid for itself now compared to an inkjet.
Anybody that does not want to have toner particles (that are carcinogenic) dust in their houses' air.
Artists who want prints often buy their own inkjet printers. There are a few good reasons—you can calibrate it, you can immediately adjust and reprint something if you don't like the output, and in the long-run you’ll save money over having somebody printing it for you. I remember doing the math on this—I’ve run printing services for art students and we charged the students 0% markup, so I got a good handle on what the cost savings were compared to commercial offerings (including Wallgreens &c).
The break-even point for an artist comes really quickly, if you’re someone who prints. It’s not even a ton of photos, you can easily come out ahead as a hobbyist.
The costs are also reasonably similar across the major inkjet printer brands (HP, Canon, Epson).
Color laser printers shine when doing documents and office-style graphics with charts, etc, not photos.
That being said, maybe it's a lemon, but my wife has a low-end (still ~$400CAD) colour laser printer from Brother which...not great for that kind of thing. It's built well and might outlive me, but it's clearly meant for printing documents with the occasional coloured chart in them, and things get pretty ugly if you push it beyond that. The cheap inkjets I grew up with 20 years ago might have crapped out every few years, but I remember them having better colour output.
