I’m a bit fed up with hp and epson after they have refused to play nicely with aftermarket ink cartridges, the robbing barstewards
Thing is, not everyone realises the very cheap price of the printer is because they are subsidised by the cartridges, so they try to protect their revenue. That said, most people have paid for the true price of the printer after a few years of cartridges and are then chucking away money. Then the printer breaks or irreparably clogs up so they’re binned and another printer bought. I’ve got three in the loft and my latest one is struggling (though it’s a nice combi scanner/printer/fax… yes, fax!).
Terrible wasteful disposable consumer items.
Not convinced the cartridgeless subscription ink ones are any better. Heads surely still clog up and wastes vast amounts of ink in cleaning them.
I may go with a laser next, and just mono will do as rarely need colour print (that said, recent concert ticket insisted had to print in colour for some weird reason). Last few printers I’ve bought could do photo printing, but I just don’t print photos any more.
A scanner would also be beneficial although Office Lens on my phone does a decent job most of the time…
Same. Phone is quicker and does a decent enough job for a lot of stuff. Though my scanner has a sheet feeder, but I have to feed one at a time anyway as it has a habit of pulling two pages through at the same time. Does scan everything into one PDF though.
