  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).
