Epson Ecotank FTW
They've got their own issues (at least the first few gens had an ink sponge that would become full and was not replaceable at all so you had to throw it out and buy a new one), they are definitely better than any HP inkjet, especially the "instant ink" ones. The best option, especially if you can avoid color prints, is a b&w Brother (or similar) laser printer. They are built like tanks.
They are also priced like tanks
Idk mine was 120 at Walmart, and the best part of the printer is the toner level reset code works
Oh but the wifi just died :/ mystery issue, USB still works
If you say so. Basic b&w laser from brother is $130 and the wifi model is $160. The entry level Eco-Tank is like $250 when not on sale. Laser is only expensive if you need extra features (document feeder, duplex scanning, multiple trays) or color.
Not if you need A3.
I replaced my ink sponge then used a random program I downloaded from mediafire to reset it. Sketch but worked.
