Deshittified printers? - Lemmy.World

The brother printer my spouse has had for ages is finally running out of ink and a quick chedk shows that they don’t make cartridges for it anymore, you cant reset them, and you can only buy dubious 3rd party options on amazon for $150 each. For that kind of money id rathet find a printer that let’s me put of the scam, but im not finding a lot of options there. Does anyone have advice?

If not Brother, I like my Epson ET-38XX. The 28XX series are also nice. Tanks and refillable. Super efficient on ink and good output. No weird shit. Just works.
Epson will say it’s out of ink when it’s not just so you have to buy more. It’s enshittified too. Also, I bout a nice one and it was broken within a week. That was about 10 years ago though.
