what's a durable yet inexpensive printer these days?

[burlmart]

a few years back the rv.netters here recommended a canon pixma mg2120, which is cabled to martha's W8.1 laptop and has given flawless duty.

my sister has a fairly lightly used HP Envy 6520 wireless printer and W10. it is acting badly with new black ink cartridge, and others have had same issue (i think even HP acknowledged a problem w/ these units).

any solid recommendations on a replacement of the pixma caliber?

TIA

About 4 years ago, I switched away from ink-jet printers to a laser printer and have never regretted it. I don't miss the ability to print in color (although you can get color lasers) and certainly don't miss those expensive ink cartridges.

It's true that a toner cartridge costs more to buy then an ink cartridge, but they last far longer. An ink jet cannot match the low cost per printed page of a laser.

I've had good luck with Brother.

by inexpensive, like $100 or so?

or do any of you know of a fix for the HP flaw that when the black cartridge is replaced, the printer no longer prints right ?

to clarify the OP, my wife's canon pixma is great, but my sister needs a recommendation for the defective HP Envy.
