We need a new printer. Maybe I am just cynical but I feel increasingly like printers are cheap upfront but then outrageous on ink prices or with forced internet connection and updates at all times and other assorted printer based horror stories that I have been seeing a lot of in the past years.

I’m just wondering if anyone has actually GOOD (or at least ok) experiences with theirs and could point us in the right direction? Reminding me which ones not to use is also helpful here.

Thanks!

Edit: thanks everyone for the feedback! This is very helpful.

    What local print shops do you have access to. For many paying the $1/page they charge is cheaper than a printer, but if you print a lot that would be 100 times more expensive. The question then is what do the locals offer and how much is the convience of your own worth. Thus find those options first - they might change your requirement when you discover what they can do for you. Color and large sheets are the most likely places you can go cheap. They also likely have quantity discounts to large jobs go to them.
