As far as I'm concerned, it would be laser, not inkjet.

For laser printers, it seems hard to go wrong with HP brand -- I've had a
lot of different laser printers, and HP seems to be the best.

The HP 5000 series seems to be well-regarded, although I've never used one.

The HP 5000N  is a low-cost entry point.

The HP 5100DTN costs more, but will handle duplexing (automatically print on
both sides of the paper).  If you want double-sided printing, duplexing is
marvelous (I just bought a duplexing printer, and I love it).

HTH,
