Great option if you already have one. For everyone else. Don't buy HP.

Also, don't buy inkjet.

My first inkjet was an HP bubblejet, about 1994. My last was some garbage about 2000. Since then I've refused to own one.

My 1997 laserjet (that I bought used in 2008) just died. I bougt a color laser on Craigslist for $50. And my current BW laser is a 2014 HP, that just got it's second cartridge.

You can't give me an inkjet.

  • Buy an ecotank printer

They actually make their money by having the printer be more expensive but it saves you in the long-run

My HP is good, but it's one of the liquid ink ones instead of cartridges. Got for PPS support so I new it would just print things on my network.

Wish I had a open source option though. And or at least a manufacturer that was possibly using slave labor (made in China and all that).
