I'm pretty late to this discussion, but we opted for purchasing the
Canon imageCLASS LBP632Cdw color laser printer, which at the time
was $180. It is now around $250. It is a beast, i.e. it weighs a
lot and is on the bigger side which is something to consider. We
are a very light duty household so the toner that came with the
printer will likely last a very long time for us. There are no
subscriptions, no bricking, etc, it is fast and has very high
quality print output. The black cartridge is higher capacity than
the the other three (CMY) cartridges.<br>

I used to buy ink cartridges at Costco but found them expensive,
then I bought online but found them to be obsolete whenever HP
changed code. Thus I signed up for HP ink supply but don't use
the printer unless I need good quality color prints, otherwise I
use Canon for everyday use.</div>

Printer Recommendations</font>
<div> </div>

<div>I've had an HP OfficeJet Pro 9018 for the past several years.
(I think the 9018 is a 9010-series unit packaged to be sold at
Costco, where I bought it). It is the most rock-solid,
maintenance-free printer/all-in-one I've ever owned.<br>
<br>
I did NOT sign up for the ink service, or the paper service for
that matter. Those just sounded like bad ideas. I buy ink at
Costco, Staples, or (occasionally) Amaxon.<br>
<br>
Unlike some of the old HP inkjet printers I've had, the 9010
series' ink cartridges are just that—<span
style="font-style:italic">ink</span> cartridges. They do not
include print heads.
<br>
<br>
The ink cartridges come in two "sizes", regular and XL. I put
"sizes" in quotes because obviously they're the same
<span style="font-style:italic">physical </span>size, it's the
degree of fill that's different.<br>
<br>
This printer has never needed any sort of cleaning, adjustment,
or maintenance (contrasted with my previous HP printer, whose
cartridges included the print heads and needed "print head
alignment" frequently.<br>
<br>
It does a great job of scanning (using nothing more
software-wise than Apple's Preview app on my Mac), and it faxes,
too (for when I need to send medical or financial documents and
an email attachment is not acceptable).<br>
<br>
All-in-all I've been very pleased with my HP 9010 series
all-in-one 🙂, and I highly recommend it.<br>

<div>My daughter works from home. Her small business
occasionally needs a printer. She is looking for an
all-in-one inkjet printer that is reliable and doesn't go
through a lot of expensive cartridges due to ink drying
up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>She has cats, so I would advise keeping the printer
covered when not in use. Other than that, I am leaning
toward the technology of Canon and HP where the cartridge
includes the actual ink jets.</div>

</div>
<div>I have a Canon TR7020a. The hardware has been reliable.
Every so often I have a problem with the software
connecting via WiFi.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are a huge number of printer models on the market
and the articles that rate printers often discuss models
that are not available. None explains the "whys and
wherefores" of the competing technologies. Perhaps someone
in this group is aware of an article explaining the
differences between various manufacturers/models, or
perhaps has some exceptionally good or bad experiences. If
so, I would appreciate your comments.</div>
