Desktop laser printers are cheap nowadays, and they’re sooooo much better, at least for B&W.
The last time I used an inkjet that wasn’t straight bullshit was last century.
DE razors are great and you can get a year’s worth of blades for like $10. That said, they’re definitely harder to use than cartridges. There’s a learning curve but IMO it’s worth it. I wonder if there’s a wetshaving community here on Lemmy yet.

I’ve been wanting a laser printer for home use, can you recommend one?

I’m not across the market sadly as I’m rocking an old Samsung colour laser that’s no longer available. In 15 years I’ve changed the toner cartridges once. It’s USB only, but a Raspberry Pi running CUPS converted it to a network printer.
My advice would be to go second hand on older laser printers. I just use my phone to scan documents these days.

How much color printing are you doing? We went with a B&W Laser because we didn’t feel like paying the premium to move to a color laser printer but we don’t do enough printing in color to really justify it either. Usually if we want something in color, it’s photos to put in frames so it makes more sense to just send them to wallgreens or shutterfly or someting like that. If it’s documents we need in color, we just send them to staples. It’s not frequent enough and the money we save on just using toner (haven’t bought toner since 2019) makes up for any small cost increase per page on color prints.
