I've seen a lot of recommendations for Brother, I want to add one for Ricoh.
I bought a B/W laser printer from Ricoh (213w IIRC) a decade ago for under 40 bucks and a new generic, no-name Amazon toner refill for 25 like 5 years ago. Printed thousands of pages, just sitting in a corner under the stairs.
Bonus: it uses Wi-Fi (so anyone in the house can print) and is compatible with generic PCL drivers in Linux.
Any laser printer is better for occasional printing. Ink doesn’t dry up, no nozzles to get clogged. It just sits there waiting to be used and prints beautifully when you do. I’m so done with ink jets.
"Ink doesn't dry up" maybe you meant toner.
Well, ink can't dry up if it doesn't have any ink to dry up.
I think they don't make the home printers anymore.
That sucks, but maybe second-hand can be found, even cheaper.
Thanks for the advice I am going to see if I can find one
