Need new all-in-one printer, scanner, copier. Recommendations?

I had two Canons that printed beautifully for about a decade but the newer replacement Canon died much sooner.

I then bought an Epson multi function and I think most of the ink goes to nozzle and head cleanings. Print quality may be good for one doc and unacceptable for the next, even though I take care to use it regularly.

My latest setup is to keep the Epson around for the fax and scan functions. Not all multi function printers will still fax and scan if you are out of ink, but I think this one will (haven’t run out ink yet).

I then bought a Samsung 2835 B&W laser printer for $70 to be my go-to printer. I was just so sick of buying ink all the time. For me, 4 ink tanks just mean I’m changing some color of ink every 2 or 3 weeks.

The print quality of the laser printer is great.

My workaround for copying will be to scan on the Epson, then print on the Samsung. Usually scanning is good enough for me, for most things I don’t need the paper copy if I have it electronically.

The IT guy at work likes the Brothers, especially the ones with wireless so you can print from your phone. Having taken his advice (and admittedly, the Brother was cheap!), I remain partial to the HPs. Wirelease isn’t that important to me.

I have an HP8610 and it works fine. I have an ink cartridge subscription–you choose how many pages and the printer communicates with HP and they send you cartridges when the printer needs them.

Our first Brother laser printer was suggested by IT guy also. It really was a work horse.
