Of course, there is the first thing, what are you using it for. There are several good printers out there but the one thing you have to decide is what is the major area that you are printing in. Pictures, quantities of text or multi-tasking.
There are the two types of printers, ink-jet and laser. For the large quantities of text such as an office environment you would want to go with the laser printer. For quality and long lasting pictures ink-jets are for you.
You can get a decent ink-jet printer from $50-$150 and then go upward from there for the better ones. The laser printers start at $200 for good and fast text and graphics. If you do not plan on doing a wide range of tasks you should be able to pick one or the other easily.
But we come to the part of the everyday person, not the business or small photo enthusiast. For everyday printing with a broad range of functions there are many you can choose from. The best for your needs also has to fit your pocket book.
There are printers for home use, then there are ones for portability, and there are ones that combine features of a scanner, printer and copier, multi use printers. There are printers that specialize in photos that you can print the 3x5 or 4x6 photos directly form your camera.
You need to decide what you are using yours for and choose the one with the features you like the best. Of course, photo printers will have better quality, while portable printers will be a bit slower than others. There are trade offs when it comes to the different printers and what you will be using yours for
