Laser - no question.

We had a fairly fancy HP inkjet and the cartridges always seemed to be plugged from sitting due to occasional use. I used to take them to Costco to get refilled but then HP updated the firmware and it would no longer work with refilled cartridges- it detected that they were not HP.

We bought a new colour laser printer, my mantra was anything but HP. We got a Samsung and it was great for nearly a year. Then HP bought Samsung’s printer product line and again updated the firmware so it would only work with hp toner cartridges. I have some aftermarket toner here, unopened if anyone wants it.

Printer 3, continuing to follow my anything but HP mantra is a Xerox all in one laser. This thing is great. It uses any aftermarket toner, it scans, copies, prints, and faxes (remember that?). It was around $250 Canadian and provided HP can’t so how update the firmware, it will last us a few years.
