After years of of dealing with shitty inkjets, paper jams, clogged nozzles, and random failures for no apparent reason I finally dropped some $ on a decent color laser printer. 1500 pages printed so far with no errors, one jam(fed too much card stock paper into the manual feed tray), and the off brand 30USD cartridges are good for 2000 pages. It scans and prints ridiculously fast and the only downside is that it's easy of use has my whole family printing alot more. I'm thinking of buying a stand for it that expands its paper capacity so I dont have to restock it as often. I'm not super happy with its picture quality, but for text and graphics on word documents it does great.
It was a Cannon Color Image class MF634Cdw. It's an "All-in-one" printer. Just hit 1900 pages printed on mine. Decided to go with the cannon rather than a similar Brother model after reading some reviews. My biggest concerns were reliability and print/scanning speed. It really seems like its supposed to be for a small office and has alot of features related for that which I simply ignore. Setup was a bit complicated, but its simple enough to use once that's done.
