re: Home printer recommendations where ink lasts more then 10 pages

The ink that comes with the printer is not a full cartridge. They’re temporary. WTF are you printing where you’re using this much ink? Don’t print jpeg’s or in color and you’ll be fine. Convert jpeg’s to pdf’s and you’ll use less ink. All the cartridges I use last for plenty of time.
If you’re printing pics of the grandkids pops, send those to CVS or an online place.

I used to have a Brother laser printer. It sucked. Always had a problem with it. The toner was expensive and didn’t last anywhere near as long as I was expecting.
I now have one of those Epson printers with the ink you pour into the reservoir and it’s by far the best printer I’ve ever had. I’ve never had a single problem with it. It just works every time. And I’ve had it for a couple years now and only changed the black ink once. Can’t recommend it enough.

I bought the cheapest WiFi printer at Walmart.
The cartridge it comes with runs out after maybe 100 pages.
The refills I ordered from Amazon have lasted a long time. I’m still on the first one and have the second on standby for years now.
Never any issues but I guess I don’t do a whole lot of printing. Maybe 3-5 pages a week on average.
I have a bunch of printing to do today though so I hope I didn’t jinx myself.

Get yourself a brother, brother (in my hulkster voice)

Brother laser jet here. B&W. Print over wifi from my phone. Think it was around $100 at the time. Mine is close to 10 years old now. I've bought one toner cartridge for it in that time. IIRC the cartridge is supposed to last 1200 pages. They have a large cartridge that is supposed to do 3000. Seems overkill for my needs. Toner was like $40-50 for the normal brother branded cartridge when I last bought one. That's probably been 6-7 years ago.

I bought a Canon LBP6030w laser printer the other day for $80 from staples and it's great for the price. Probably the cheapest laser printer you can find. My only gripe is setting the wireless connection up requires installing a driver.

Have an older HP DeskJet F4240. Still works great all these years scans too. Set your print defaults lower and toner lasts long time.

Brother laser runs around $250 and includes a scanner.
We print a decent amount and need a new cartridge every 6-8 months.
I used HP for years, and Brother kills them for speed when printing and scanning.

In addition to Gas Station chicken, Brother makes a decent home printer.

I have been looking for a printer with a good scanner.
I have some old family photos that need to be scanned and touched up that I can save to my computer and a thumb drive.
Also, would like to be able to print off those photos and give them to my family.
Any recommendations?
TIA

We use these at work and we also have one at home. Also recommend.

Printers are an absolute scam and a money pit. Good luck baw

I've had an Epson WF 3540 for over 10 years and use OEM ink. Cartridges are large and keep away from head cleaning, nozzle check, etc. and you'll be good for a lot of pages.

Laser printers are cheaper now. I would get one of those. Screw the toner racket.
