I see these constant horror stories of having to pay to print, silly ink prices, having to log onto a web server etc.
Is there no company that just makes a printer that works, does what it’s supposed to, and doesn’t play bizarre games?
I think a printer might be useful in my life right now… but, I’m actually just scared.
I don’t have much else to offer in addition to the suggestions already here, but I will say I feel your pain. I also got the desire for home printing somewhat recently, and quickly got stuck wondering… “Is there such a think as a non-evil printer anymore?”
Brother is mentioned a lot, as is laser. But I also value color printing, and I had an impossible time finding a Brother color laser printer in my price range. I settled on one of their ink tank models instead.
Yeah, ink isn’t supposed to last as long, but I haven’t had to replace it yet, so I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. Mostly I just ended up not printing as much as I thought I would.
