Xennial here, get a Brother laser printer if you can. The "starter toner" lasted me for like 4 years so far and is only now getting low. I can't imagine going back to an inkjet that would always dry up since I used infrequently, but I still needed it.
A second vote for brother lasers.
I upgraded my old printer about 6 months ago. Laser is far superior, and no longer particularly expensive. I also discovered they have solved the photo printing quality issue at some point (laser's only real weakness). I ran off a photo and it came out near/at inkjet quality.
You do one up front payment and it saves so much money long term, so many people are against that concept
Bonus is you can buy third party refilled toner in bundles for like $15 for 3. I bought some a couple of years ago and I still haven't burned through the first replacement
There have been reports that Brother has finally started being evil about third-party toner with new firmwares.
That's why I'm thankful I haven't updated mine and it's an older model. People should look out for that for sure.
Yep, finally got rid of my Epson BJ with a Brother b/w laser and it’s fantastic. A little louder but it functions like it should instead of complaining about low Magenta.
