Can't remember the last HP product I bought.

The last printer I bought was a new-in-box Chinese (Taiwanese, actually, IIRC) off-brand I'd never heard of. It cost me thirty dollars on ebay.

The refills cost me twenty dollars a piece, and are roughly good for the stated number of pages (1,500, give or take).

On Linux, it even does the one thing I really expect a printer to do (besides, yknow, print) and supports A5 well.
