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

    Find your local print shop, library public printers, drug store photo service. Compare price, convenience, quality, and how often you actually do that print each thing on your list. Most people want everything on their list, but won’t use them enough to be worth it.

    I am happy with a black and white borther laser in part because I know where my options are for the few times I need/want color. My local print shop is on my way for a trip I take often (work) and can print in large format - a useful feature not on your list that you may want in the future.
