You should probably say what kind of things are important to you. Colour, printing photos, or just documents... I use a second-hand Hewlett Packard laser printer. The older ones are built like a tank, and last forever. Inkjet's can be a problem with low-volume printing, the ink can dry out or gunk up between use (depends on how little you print), but even if you use it often enough to avoid that, they waste much of their tiny amount of expensive ink during their cleaning routine. Laser toner is much more cost effective than ink. About the only cost effective inkjets are the ones with the large outboard ink tanks, with continuous feed tubes to the head. Their large refill bottles are about the only ones that are not a monumental rip off, and you only have to top up the tanks that are actually low on ink. But you still have to contend with the clogged heads that plague inkjets. Remember that issue's made worse with cheap and nasty paper. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.9.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 6 15:49:49 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
