I went from an HP (it lasted for years and years) to a Brother about two years ago. MFC-J4800W, but they probably don't make that one any more. I buy extra capacity ink cartridges online. I print a few things a month, checks and stuff. Mostly black ink. I can copy or scan if I need to. Fax, too, but nobody faxes anymore.
If I printed photos, I'd go to Walmart. Keeping a photo printer at home is ridiculously expensive and wasteful, IMO.
