What printer should I get?

[D]

Thanks ... I see that the HP is thermal inkjet. I never know whether to go laser or inkjet cause I'm ignorant about the difference, lacking practice in them. I normally have a local printer do my stuff but with the kids needing it more and more it is becoming way too inconvenient.

If you have multiple PCs hooked up on a LAN, then you might want to get a network printer. This way it has it's own built in Ethernet port and you can just hook it to a spare port on the network, and voila, everyone can print to it. Oh sure, you can get this functionality by sharing your printer from the computer its hooked to also, but that isn't always the better solution. Obviously, you'll need to make your own judgment here based on your wants, needs, price range, etc...
