    I’m just now having to replace my brother printer (HL-2170W) I bought in 06, because the NIC is toast.

    The printer still works great, but duplex printing sure would be nice.

      Have you looked into printers that accept refillable containers of ink rather than cartridges? I haven’t looked too closely, but I see Epson makes some too, and the prices are pretty reasonable.

        Every inkjet printer on this planet has a choice. Cheap ink, accessible printheads, expensive. You have to pick one.

        Certain Hp? Expensive cartridges but new print heads with every cart. Epson ecotank? Cheap ink but non replaceable printheads. High-end printers? Insanely priced printheads and ink.

        The only way out is laser.

        I haven’t had any reason to print in color for like 20 years. I’m sure many consumers are the same.

        If I do need to print color, I’ll pay $0.10 at UPS or the library or whatever to print it off.
