That is exactly my setup and like you also suffer from clogged ink jet heads unless I use the printer at least once a once to print a photo
Although I'm a cheapskate and just get the cheap ebay specials when I need ink0 -
I'm a cheapskate also.
I bought a second-hand Xerox phaser 6250 colour laser network printer almost 25 years ago for about £80. It is plugged into my router with an ethernet cable so we can wirelessly print to it. I buy cheap colour toner cartridges CMYK on eBay which last for ages.
It has never missed a beat and has seen my and my daughter through three degrees as well as loads of other projects.
It will still be going strong long after I am dead.0 -
