Laser rather than ink jet. Use compatibles on both Samsung and HP without issue. Don't need colour though so works fine for me.

NOT an HP. Mine usually works eventually, but it's so crap and temperamental that I'm having to fight the urge to get rid and buy another Epson.

Our HP is like this too. Plus it knows if we put non hip catridges in arghhh

I second the Epson Ecotank. It works, and the ink refills are reasonably economical.

No, they’re bastards. Although I will second the pp who mentioned epson. It’s early days in my relationship with mine, but I am very, very quietly hopeful…

Epson ecotank - the only printer I've owned in my almost 40 years that has reliably worked when I wanted it to every time. And I've had mine over 2 years and still haven't run out of ink despite home educating 4 kids and running a business.

Lines across the page, printer jams, failed calibrations, telling me there's no ink when there fucking is. Library printing is 50p a page. Might need to take up art.

I just bought a new one after having a rage with my Canon, I have a new HP one, so easy to install and use. Bought from John Lewis.
