    Buy brother laser. It’s more expensive, but it’s worth it long term. They last a real long time and the cartridges last bananas and they don’t care about “official” ink

      Straight up when I bought my black and white brother laser printer I got an extra cartridge with it because I didn’t expect it to last very long

      By the time I finally had to swap it out I couldn’t find the extra cartridge I bought with it because it had been so long

      Needless to say I’m 3 years and 500+ pages into the second cartridge and happy to have this clunky little printer

      Laser printers are especially handy if you rarely ever need to print anything, because they don’t dry up and get clogged.

        Yeah I tend to either not print anything for years, or print huge amounts in a short span of time. Lasers are brilliant for this use case, because they also print really really quickly when they are printing, in addition to not drying up.

      It’s not even more expensive. You can get a full duplex wifi printer for under $200. I want one, but my 20 year old Brother printer is still going strong.

      My Dell mono laser is also going strong. Haven’t had a single issue in over 10 years. Ink printers have been and still are a scam
