At my insistence we bought a Canon laser all in one printer in 2022. It’s turning out to be more trouble than it’s worth, and it can’t do some stuff that some family members need, like printing on thick card stock.
I do, however, like the fact that the Canon reports toner levels to HA. Is there a normie inkjet printer that also has this functionality and won’t fleece us with BS ink subscriptions and lock us into using their ink?
I’d also like it to be JUST a printer, not an all-in-one. I’m looking at a dedicated scanner, which doesn’t need an HA integration.
Just quickly searching “Brother Printer” on Amazon and every listing has “Includes Refresh Subscription Trial” in the title.
Brother sells a toner subscription service, but you don’t have to sign up for it. I believe people online have had luck buying third party toner cartridges. I haven’t tried the 3rd party toner yet though. I’m still on my first cartridge. HA says I have 89% left. I bought this printer like 3 or 4 years ago and it still prints great!
(I also bought the monochrome laser printer.)
