Printer

Is there any printer that isn't a massive fragile pain in the arse?
Looking for one that even after a few months of use will calmly load paper and print B&W/ Colour.
Not looking for the usual type that pulls in multiple sheets that get stuck, chews up paper, ink dries out after 2 days, randomly turns itself off.
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi document transfer capability is a bonus.
TIA

I've found that ink jet printers are a total waste of time and money. Cartridges dry up and cost a fortune to replace and they typically won't work if even one of the colours has run dry.

In the end we gave up and bought a simple HP laser printer - b&w only but the toner last months and months and we just print photos off at Boots instead. You can get colour laser printers for home use as well, but I expect the toner is going to be a lot more expensive.

Over the years I had best experiences with Canon (never put a foot wrong until it actually died) over HP (temperamental connection via wifi, needs regular head cleaning, big and clunky) and the Epson (which was just truly shit all round, both functionality and quality)
