I don't get people buying HP printers either. They did make really good printers 2~3 decades ago (absolutely loved my Deskjet 695C and the cartridges weren't really hard to refill), but recently their printers are nothing more than e-waste.
Today you should just get a Brother laser printer.
Eeeh, I had a black and white (well, black) inkjet from HP in the 90s' and the ink would always dry out. I don't think I ever managed to finish a cartridge on that thing.
Inkjets have always sucked. Lasers all the way, even for colour. And if you want to print photos, go through a lab, it's way cheaper anyway.
our HP Envy model lasted ,i shit you not, 5 months.
our epson eco-tank we got after that happily prints away 2 years after we bought it without issue. i think we refilled the colors once, and the black 2 times now. for 10€ a bottle.
