There’s so many models and companies these days and hard to know what’s quality and refills won’t cost an arm and a leg, or what long term will last at least half a decade. Previously went with Inkjet printers, but I’m done with them since I rarely print photos. TIA for any recommendations and thoughts on your experiences on this!
Can only share my thoughts on the matter. Got myself a brother HL-L2320D a couple of years back and I’m not unhappy with it but I would avoid it if I could time travel. Really wish it had a dedicated Ethernet port and a scanner and I urge you to look for those features, especially since scanning apps are going the subscription route nowadays. My use case is probably different from yours but I didn’t print in color at all in the past idk 5 years now so you might save money on getting a monochrome one but really its up to you for that part.
Like everyone says. Brother. But just buy it used. You don’t need a new one. People are recommending them for a reason. They last.
Brother, obviously.
If you think you will ever use the scanner, get one that can scan to FTP. They are ~$30 more, but usually come with a document feeder too.
Then look into paperless-ngx
