The Canon printer has been acting up, so we got a somewhat higher-grade Brother all-in-on ink tank printer, an MWC-J4535DW.
Comes with enough ink for 1200 pages.
Installation was easy, print quality is very good, the speed is excellent.

Brother makes very good inexpensive laser printers also.
We don't print enough stuff to justify a laser printer. This one will do a color page in four seconds.
@mcfate We don't print much, which was *why* we got the Brother laser. Still have 3/4 left on the 1st refill tank we installed, probably 5 years ago. But, I think we might have gotten a magically good printer.

Same here. I went laser several years back and won't ever go back to ink of any form for home printing. That said, I own two black & white laser printers, a cheap, simple Brother and a Samsung multifunction for scanning/copying. I have no need to print in color, but good color laser printers can be had quite cheaply nowadays.
@mcfate
That's exceptionally fast for an ink printer, but not enough to pull me away from laser.

Back in my PC repair shop days, I worked on a lot of printers. Laser printers seem to be designed with service in mind much more so than inkjet.
That said, my most difficult printer repair was a restaurant owner who had put glossy inkjet photo paper through his color laser printer. A couple sheets had fused to the fuser.
