Greentings As youve seen from the the title, i want to get a new printer as a present for my parents. Sadly they are still windows peasants and my mom somehow thinks that the HP printer on her desk has been a good financial investment, even though it has costed us more than 300 bucks in ink over the past 2 years.

I was hoping that you fine folks would have some good recommendations to replace this money leach on their home. Ive heard about the entire brother lazer meme going around, but the ones ive seen from them only do monochrome. And frankly speaking i dont think that my birth specimens can comprehend the greatness of 18 century film on their paper. Anyways have a nice day or night, internet strangers!

    i’ll add a kyocera ecosys m5526cdw (laser color with scanner,…) to the list. i don’t know what the currently version of this model is but it didn’t let me down once in the last 5? years. works on Linux, Windows, Android without a problem, the Image quality is ok and the toner costs are really low.
