Stop buying printer ink. Buy a laser printer and buy toner instead. It’s significantly cheaper.
For B&W text, sure. But the quality of laser required to print a decent colour photo is not cheap.

How often does the average person really need that, though?

Theres always ‘but sometimes’ arguments to everything, but the advice was general.

Shipping labels, concert tickets, sometimes train tickets and airline tickets (some companies don’t accept them just on the phone), contracts, NDAs, tax returns, etc.

Depends on where you live and how much you interact with other companies and government agencies.

I’ve printed most items on that list in black and white. Why would you need color for any of those things?
I wasn’t replying to anything that mentioned color.
Yes, you were. The comment you responded to was asking whether coloured printing is all that necessary in response to someone saying that while b&w laser printers may be cheap, colour ones aren’t.
