Which printer company do you think offers the most value?

this feels like a question for google....try hp tho

I'm here searching for the same. I have an old HP C3100 series printer that still works great! I don't print a lot, but when I need to, my 92/93 printer cartridges that I bought a year ago and used maybe twice, have already dried up--or something. Display is blinking, and says "replace cartridges".

So, another $65 to buy 2 new cartridges (color & black), that will probably be dried up again when I need to print another 2 pages of something...

I also can't find where to STOP THAT TEST PAGE that happens every time I replace the cartridges, using up all that precious ink!

This time I printed what I needed, and sealed up the cartridges in a plastic bag, to see if maybe they will work next time I need to print. But I know when I put them back in, another Test Page will print...

So frustrated.

There are lots of printer company. I found  better article from here

most printer companies do not make much money from selling their printers. they make up for it with ink, which is why ink prices go up over the years, so you will have to buy a new printer to get more affordable inks.

it's not as easy as you think to just rewrite the software from using flash to non-flash software. it's not worth the time or money it would take to do that, and i don't think any company would waste money on rewriting code for older models, when people could just buy a new printer. especially now that printers can be bought for under $50 now. if the printer is still pretty new, just turn in the warranty, and they should give you a new one if you complain loud enough.

there is another option you missed though. you could always just reinstall flash player and use it just for your printer. you will need the ActiveX version for HP printers.

this worked for me.

I use hp laserjet printer. I think that it is the best.

I've used Brother and Samsung laser printers for decades.  Toner is far cheaper per page than ink and the resulting product doesn't smear.  No issues with either brand that a homeowner couldn't fix himself -- until they plum wore out [and then you just buy a new one].  -- grampa

Inkjet, Epson. Ink is cheap and readily available. Their aftersales service is good and efficient.

For laser, Brother has cheap printers and more importantly cheaper ink toner cartridges. Very cheap build though.

I'm more into the quality and longevity of HP laser printers so much so that the printers remain fully functional even after they have discontinued supplying ink cartridges for it already. Yes, HP has that habit of not fixing things properly forcing you to just buy a new printer instead. That's why I mistakenly tried Brother.

Canon, from where I am has ink that is very hard to find and worse, their service center is very far and takes so long to fix things and instead recommend you just buy a new one instead also. 

I've owned Epsons and HPs.  I've always seem to have more problems with the HPs. 

Although I do like the idea of HP's Instant Ink subscription service where you pay X dollars for Y many pages per month, and they just send you the ink as needed for no extra charge. In the past, I always ended up wasting far more ink on cleaning printheads than I ever used printing pages.  With the subscription, I'm really only paying for what I print and HP pays for all the wasted ink used in the cleaning cycles.

So when my Epson dies, I'll probably go with HP and their Instant Ink program.

I would say Canon because I own one
