Printer recommendation

Anybody have a good recommendation for a wireless/bluetooth printer/scanner?

I've been pretty happy with my Epson Eco Tank (ET-2750). It's ancient now, but holds a lot of ink and I don't need to mess with changing cartridges or things like that and the color is quite good for printing quality photos. I do need to run the print head cleaning cycle fairly often, but I think that is only because of fairly infrequent use. It really only gets used once or twice a month and the print head does tend to get clogged when it's just sitting for awhile. Wife just printed off a few dozen photos over the past few weeks related to our daughter's graduation activities and it is still working great.

I'm looking at teh same. That's why I think I'm going to go with a laser jet model.

Having been a pretty loyal HP customer for awhile, I do NOT recommend HP. When it finally just dies, I will be looking elsewhere.

My experience with HP has been good. Been using HP for many years, like back into the 80's. I am currently using an HP all in one that is at least 10 years old and never an issue. I do use HP compatible cartridges not OEM. I also have an HP laser that my wife used in her hobbies and it is very good but the color refills on it are very expensive.

Check the price of the laser color refills. The HP Laser my wife used has huge color carts that are very expensive compared to inkjet.

Same, except for the no issues. I use the HP Ink monthly service. Wife used to print a lot for a home business, switched to a much lower plan with less usage nowadays. My issues are with getting it to print without restarting everything 20 times, forget printing from phone or tablet. I use the HP smart app, maybe it's not so smart? Or maybe operator error? Not sure, but printing becomes a huge chore sometimes.🤬

We're looking for one too. I like HP laptops, but the printers have been hit or miss. We have to replace an Epson that's been a POS. Maybe Canon this time?

I had a Canon printer/ scanner several years ago and was glad to get rid of it. I could never get a good color picture
printed with it and it went through ink like crazy... and that ink was very expensive, much more so than HP at the time.
I now have a HP Office Jet Pro 901 Se and I like it fairly well. I did have an Epson at one time but the ink soon clogged
up and I dumped it rather than trying to clean up the clogged heads.

A guy on another forum recommended the local library. I didn't even think about it. I only need to print once or twice a month and the local library is near the grocery store I use most often.

From their website:

Canon Pixma all in one. A bit slow but has been flawless for years.

We have a small HP Deskjet. It’s fine for what we need it for. Ink on the other hand is outrageously priced. Must have gold it in. lol

I’ve had a basic HP inkjet for several years now. I use it a lot. Other than the outrageous price for ink cartridges (I only get black now - don’t need color) it’s been great. I get the black ink cartridges in a 2-pack from Costco. It’s a little cheaper but not all that much.

To keep the price of ink reasonable consider a printer with a ink tank.
