Throughout my life i have set up a multitude of different printers. None of them have been a pleasant experience. Why is this, and is there a printer that is actually good?

Order of priorities:

Free/open software and hardware
Available ink/toner and spares
No connectivity "dumb as a rock"

Print quality really doesent matter unless it is really bad. Of course, im willing to make sacrifices on all of these points, but you get the gist.

Any suggestions for models that comes even close to any of these requirements?

Got the same printer, it's also great if you don't print a lot. I'm still on the same third party toner from 7+ years ago. Never again will I buy an inkjets printer.

The whole reason I bought a laser printer. I was sick of paying $20 every time I printed something once a month or so. 100% worth it.
