HP Smart Tank Plus 555 Wireless now sells for 179,90€ and has the same concept. A great product anyone looking for a new printer.
Alternatively you can get a second hand HP 3070A (Wifi, Scanner, Airprint) for around 20€ and use refillable cartridges. Or just unbranded ones that sell for cheap. The thing I like about this particular model is that the cartridges just hold ink there's not much hardware like other models, no print-head in the cartridge itself, just a simple chip that china has cloned perfectly.
HP is utter garbage though.
That isn't a lie, but second hand, at that price point and as it prints well... can't argue with it.
I will never buy an HP again after their printers (the ones that didn't die) start giving "missing printhead" errors after an update if it thinks you are using non-HP ink (even when you are using HP ink) and is unrepairable. Replacing the printhead is a 50/50 shot for 75% of the cost of a new printer
For 20€ the 3070A is a very good deal, doesn’t die, doesn’t complain about anything. I’ve had mine for more than 10 years. A friend bought about more recently also good.
