I just paid $10 to print 2 black and white pages. What printer should I get to never do that again? (piefed.social)

Title. I'm annoyed. It's 18c a page, and $9ish shipping, but still.

It's been a looooooong time since I've done anything with printers, so I don't know what my options are.

Really I only have 2 requirements

works well with Linux
ink prices are sane

any suggestions?

I agree, I have had mine for years at this point. A monochrome wireless printer. Maybe print out 10 pages a year and still works great.

I bought a Brother black and white laser printer in 2019 or so. I print around 10 pages a month on average and I'm still using the starter toner cartridge. Not bad for a $100 printer in my opinion.
