It's not that one is clearly better than the other. It comes down to one thing: cost of supplies. Depending on the machine and the "coverage density" (i.e. how much "black") of the faxes you expect to be receiving, one may be cheaper to operate than the other. Unfortunately, neither will win in all cases, so you have to do your homework.

It may also come down to personal preference. Modern inkjet fax machines (and printers in general) produce great output (if you're using good cartridges and the machine is kept clean, etc.) with little to no "ink runs" and smudges. But personally, I still prefer laser output for documents (full-color photos are a domain still left to inkjets on the low end, but that's not a concern when it comes to faxes).

The quality of laser printing is for better than dot-matrix printing scheme. Another benefit of laser printer over dot-matrix printing is that its speed is faster than dot-matrix.

Do hp inkjet printers offer better print quality than laser printers?

Print quality is dependent, to a high degree, on paper choice. Inkjet printers offer higher quality prints than laser printers because they use "photo quality" inks and can print on coated paper. Laser jets have improved and offer similar text and graphic quality on plain paper.
