I quite like my ancient inkjet HP. Keeps printing with “empty” cartridge just fine, and the bottle of ink from AliExpress lasts a long time even if drenching paper with dark mode documents.
I paid 71 cents on sale for 500ml of ink, though it’s otherwise around 20 bucks. Still worth it.
Now, there may just be one problem for most, it doesn’t work with Windows anymore. HP website doesn’t provide drivers saying they get automatically installed by Windows. Windows says it can’t find drivers and to use manufacturer’s website.
But it works with HPLIP on Linux.
Oh, and 1 more thing. There’s a high DPI mode that can almost match laser in sharpness. But, it takes 20 minutes per page. Yes, not a typo.
