Is there any form of printer that isn't a complete con-job or scam? (lemm.ee)

I see these constant horror stories of having to pay to print, silly ink prices, having to log onto a web server etc.

Is there no company that just makes a printer that works, does what it's supposed to, and doesn't play bizarre games?

I think a printer might be useful in my life right now.... but, I'm actually just scared.

Seconded for xerox laser printers. I use a phaser at work and print dozens of single pages periodically throughout the day. 3rd party toner and fuser drums work great, though they still have chip lifespan locks. Someday I'll get a chip to swap out so I can use every bit of toner, but the prices are reasonable enough that it hasn't been critical.
