Laser printers are your friend. The savings on consumables alone will make it pay for itself.

Laser printers are great for documents, but not very good for photos.

I have an ink jet printer that I like. I don't print very often (average a couple pages per week) but when I do it's a mix of documents and photos. The ink isn't cheap, but the quality seems good and for the amount I print the expense is minor.

Epson Ecotank. I’ve been using mine for years and I only had to buy new ink once.

And I printed a lot of photos, notes, documents, etc

Those will still get their nozzles clogged if you don't run them.

		This is the part where I get to point out that Brother inkjets do a little dance ~every day that keeps the heads fresh. They do this on their own as for long as they're powered up. This allows them to work well even if years go by between prints. It's a very thoughtful design element. (They don't survive sitting for months and months unpowered on a shelf very well, but... you'll have that.)

Not to mention more water resistant, when printing things like envelopes.
