My HP put me through one to many hour-long fights to print a single page and I’m done with it. Going to go full office space on that thing, but first I need a new printer. I’m not a heavy user, so I’m lookng to spend $300 or less. What do yall recommend?
Must haves Color printing Copying (B&W and color) Accepts generic ink/toner
Strongly prefer Printing cardstock up to 300 GSM Duplex printing feeder
Inkjet or laserjet is OK, with slight preference for laserjet. Also, scanner not needed
I recommend cruising your local thrift stores until you find a dark brown brother laser printer for about $6.99.
The market is replete with second hand toner and fusers and repair parts and it will just print what you need it to print.
Many of them should have Network compatibility with an ethernet cable, but if not you can purchase a very cheap older raspberry pi and run CUPS on it and network it that way.
