Which type of Printer can be selected for occasional use?

Your choice is between Ink Tank and Laser.

If you are going to take prints at least once ever week, you should go for an all in on Ink Tank. It will give you the facility of color prints and scans, whenever necessary. You can go for the Wi-fi ones, they are very convenient for printing/scanning directly from mobile phones.

You can go for the Laser printers, if you will be taking prints with long intervals, and need faster prints, and are sure you wont need color or scans.

Print costs should be similar for both.

I am also looking for a suggestion for an All in One Ink Tank with Wifi. Anybody?

In my area, black and white print is Rs 2 per page.
For just 50 pages, I wouldn’t buy a printer

Your point is right @cocay but it’s very inconvenient to go out for 3-4 pages print within day or two regularly.

That’s right. I hear Ricoh basic laser printers are cheap and good. Check them out

Ricoh laser printers are good value for price but keep a few things in mind:
Original toner cartridges are expensive. 1.When u refill with toner powder, u also need to replace the chip(₹100) on cartridge. Otherwise printing will look faded. Also printer will sense that u r using the old cartridge and may permanently damage ur printer firmware.
2. Replacement spares for Ricoh like roller and doctor blade are not easily available (as like HP or Canon) in printer market. These will eventually wear off and require renewal.

Best is HP1020, easy to refill and spares are the cheapest……

What was the price ?

7979/- but got @ 6794/- with the various offers available at that time.

I am using HP MFP 126NW since May 2016. Laserjet Scanner, Copier, Printer. Uses HP 88A toner cartridge which is very common. You can get a reasonably good cartridge for round 500-600. One cartridge lasts for about 1200 to 1500 pages, text. For graphix it will be lower. Refilled cartridges are available for around 300, but never used one. It does not dry up so can be used as long as toner is available in it. Connects over wifi so can be used from laptops and even mobiles.
The scanner is generally more used than printing. Has been very useful for printing late night boarding passes. For last 2 months extensively used by my daughter for her online studies and google classroom.
For the occasional color print, I use the local shop.

Yes already indicated that it connects over wifi. Also can connect via LAN, so can directly connect to the router using LAN cable.
with HP printer aap, prints can also be taken directly from mobile connected to the same wifi.

Sorry, my bad. I got it mixed up and quoted you. I meant to ask suggestion on wifi based single utility duplex printer ..
I hope it will be cheaper than multi-utility printer ..

As you will make one time investment and the price difference is not that significant, for home use I would always suggest MFP. You will find scanning and photocopy functions are more required than the direct printing.
However, if you still want to go for only printer, then I would suggest HP M202DW. It has duplex printing, wifi & LAN and is based on same 88A cartridge.

Bought an epson m1100 ink tank printer mrp worth 11000 for around 7000 rs. My daily printing usage is around 150-200 prints so opted for ink tank printers bcoz of cost of prints being less. And problem with epson ink tank printers (don’t know of other brands) is that error occurs a lot of time in these printers. And without knowledge one can’t solve those errors. One benefit for laser printers (I find) is that if any error occurs normal person can even solve those by switching it off and turning on again. And that doesn’t work with ink tank printers. The error remains the same until you solve it.

Please don’t buy an inkjet printer .Those are not economical and cost more per page basis.
Go for any laser printer.
