    Inkjet is pretty much terrible for anyone printing very little (more ink wasted on cleaning cycles than actually printing, high chance that the ink dries up regardless) and very much (stupidly expensive and unreliable).

    If you don’t need color, get a cheap b/w laser printer. Brother used to be one of the last good ones until they, too, decided to block third party cartridges via firmware updates last year.

    If you can get an old, used, Brother laser printer for cheap, go for it - they were borderline indestructible and would print with any cheap toner.

        The Epson printers with the non-serviceable waste ink pads and the software self destruct timer? Not sure how user friendly or “eco” those are.

        Great idea, atrocious execution.

          ET 4750 has a user replaceable waste pad. Which models don’t?
