I have given up on inkjets altogether. I have had Lexmarks, Canons, Epson, and several HPs. All were useful for about a year, One lasted 14 months. One 11 months. The others right at a year. I do not put that much paper through them for the most part, except for one of the Lexmarks. It got used as much as three of the others. It lasted 54 weeks than just stopped working. I have wondered if they are programmed for a year’s use but each has failed in a different way except that the three HPs all just one day stopped picking up the paper. I have also a wide dot matrix printer I have had since 1993 that gets s lot of use and just keeps on keeping on. I have for regular use now a Brother laser printer. I have not had it long but My son’s Brother has been running perfectly for 4 years now.
Two Brother laser MFP machines at home.
Excellent service and durable.
Exactly, I went laser years ago.. Yes the Toner carts aren’t cheap, but they last me YEARS... where the inkjet carts, even the XL’s run out in a few months at most, and I don’t print all that much.
InkJets are a scam... folks just see the $30 or $50 price tag, not realizing they are going to get nailed for that much or more every few months for ink....
Go buy the 120-150 Laser printer... toner carts print far more per replacement, even with the higher replacement cost, the cost per page is FAR FAR less... and better quality printing too.
