Can anybody with relevant experience of laser printers please enlighten
me?


Your reasoning is very sound, and it would be a good idea. My usual suggestion is to get a small B&W laser printer (Brothers work well for this task) and a color inkjet. The Inkjet in this scenario would be rarely used, but is the most flexible. However, they are not expected to be long lived devices. The epson would be a bad choice here since the jets are not designed to be replaceable. Something like an HP would be best for infrequent use, since the jets are replaced every time with the cartridge.

But certainly, a colour laser would be maintenance free.
