I see these constant horror stories of having to pay to print, silly ink prices, having to log onto a web server etc.

Is there no company that just makes a printer that works, does what it’s supposed to, and doesn’t play bizarre games?

I think a printer might be useful in my life right now… but, I’m actually just scared.

    I have a black and white Brother LaserJet I bought three years ago for ~$120. I don’t print a lot, but it works when I need it to and I haven’t had to replace the toner yet, but the toner runs about $30 for a set of two.

      I agree. I take my brother laser printer off the shelf, plug in power, plug in USB and push print. I get my jobs with no fuss. I’d never go back to ink jets and their constantly needing expensive ink or clogging.
