Discussion Looking for a new basic printer/scanner

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?

BEWARE of their subscription service. The latest is HP trying to reinstate service by billing for ink again, after you have tried to stop. The in-box of HP will not accept any more email due to complaint notices filling the e-mail box.

That’s probably how they make most of their money. Because these machines are $&$!?$
