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.
Avoid inkjet at all costs. Ink is expensive and has a limited shelf life. What you want is a laser or toner printer. Instead of ink it uses powder which has a good shelf life.
As for brands avoid HP. Look at Brother, those seem to have the better reputation for printers. Yes laser printers are more expensive outright but after factoring in the cost of ink vs toner they become very affordable.
