We need a new printer. Maybe I am just cynical but I feel increasingly like printers are cheap upfront but then outrageous on ink prices or with forced internet connection and updates at all times and other assorted printer based horror stories that I have been seeing a lot of in the past years.

I’m just wondering if anyone has actually GOOD (or at least ok) experiences with theirs and could point us in the right direction? Reminding me which ones not to use is also helpful here.

Thanks!

Edit: thanks everyone for the feedback! This is very helpful.

    Like many others I will strongly recommend brother laser. Epson ecotanks are pretty decent too, but you have to print at least once a month, depending on your environmental conditions. The print heads can become clogged, difficult to DIY fix and often necessitates replacing the entire unit. Also avoid canon inkjets at all costs, especially the cheap ones.
