What worked for me was to buy an old, refurbished, commercial HP laser printer, without the subscription “features”. I paid $75 and have saved that much in ink costs, just this year.
I just dragged out my wife’s old college hp inkjet printer, and I was delighted to discover that it doesn’t even have a networking function on it. No wifi and no ethernet. It’s not even 10 years old.
Of course, to use it I have to be within usb-cord range, but small sacrifice for a printer that won’t hold itself hostage over outdated credit card information.
I had the same dilemma.
