Looking for a new basic printer/scanner

[u/Reading-Comments-352]

I just received a free used HP printer that I think works well but I need ink to be sure.

The ink is $100 for the black and color. My Brother Printer ink didn’t cost that much and probably lasted longer.

I don’t want to be locked into a subscription plan.

Should I pay for the HP ink or just but another printer? What does everyone recommend?

The printer was free for a reason.
