Desktop Printer
A look at what is currently available on eBay
what is the difference between a laser printer and a desktop printer?
which among the two is the best?
Generally a laser printer uses lasers/heat to fuse a powdered toner to the paper. Overall if you do a lot of printing, especially if all you are printing is black text documents, no color, a laser printer can be very economical. The toner cartridges last a lot longer than those for your desktop printer, which is usually an inkjet printer, and uses small cartridges of liquid ink. In fact, the companies that make inkjet printers make their money from the consumables, not from the printer itself. Notice that you can get a halfway-decent inkjet printer for under $100. But the just one or two times of replacing the used ink cartridges will cost more than the printer cost you.
You can buy color laser printers now too at reasonable prices (used to be color laser printers were way beyond the price range for home users). Again, the toner cartridges last a lot longer than inkjet.
However, if you are printing photos and art at home, the inkjet printers tend to give you better results than a laser printer will, in terms of color quality and range.
So "which is best" really depends on what you want to print. I know people who have both: a monochrome (black and white) laser printer for printing reports and so on, and an inkjet printer for color work, photos etc.
