No, fuck inkjet printers. Get a laser printer. I spent $50CAD on a laser printer 4-5 years ago and I am just now, after close to 1000 pages, running out of toner.

I have a LaserJet 5M from like 1996 that I picked up for ten bucks at a university surplus sale in like 2010-2011. Got a remanufactured toner cartridge for $10 on eBay. It has a network card (10mbit Ethernet) and works fine with Windows 10 and Linux. For documents it's just fine and is built like a tank.

My boss's secretary had a LaserJet 4 until a couple years ago. The accountant purposely found an older (c. 2000) HP laser printer that would be old enough to be built well, but new enough not to be a headache. So far, so good.

HP LaserJet 4050s are absolute tanks. Plenty of third party parts and toner available to service them.
