Hey there /po/,
My ancient piece of shit $20 HP printer has finally kicked the bucket. However, in a way, I suppose it's kind of fortuitous, because now I can get a printer that isn't a piece of shit and finally get into papercraft proper. I don't really know where to start looking, though, apart from the fact that a lot of people seem to prefer inkjets and printers that can accept heavier types of paper. I guess image quality is an important factor too. With that said, what do you guys use for your projects? Thanks in advance

If you dismantle old printer you can get useful papercrafting tools. Rubber rollers and steel shafts mainly, but gears and springs too. If scanner, glass plate is good for lightbox. Recycle plastic and unwanted metal for maximum hippie.

Cheapest printer with the cheapest ink refills that advertises itself as being able to print photos. That usually means you can force some pretty thick 200-300gsm paper through it. (basically all inkjets now in days anyway) Check data sheet if you're not sure.
If you care for double sided papercraft, can't help you there. Pretty much all affordable consumer printers have alignment issues

If you want to print in bulk, printers with factory continuous ink supply system are a great option if you can find them for cheap.
