Yeah, The Verge apparently is fed up with printers

Except for the Brother printer everyone has. It just works.

I bought one years ago that still functions on $15 high yield toner that lasts us a year.
Recently bought one for work since the HPs stopped printing at all. It was the type that have the long ink cartridges for like $70. Had an employee that needed to print something quick from his phone for work and he couldn’t believe how easy and quick it printed compared to the HP. I think his quote was, “damn, that was awesome.”
Brother is the only printer that just works anymore.

It seems any printer that comes with ink tanks might be a valuable alternative.
It’s possible to fill HP printer cartridges yourself (speaking as the unfortunate owner of one such device), but it’s not particularly easy, and that possibility only extends as far as firmware updates allow… apparently.
