I just paid $10 to print 2 black and white pages. What printer should I get to never do that again? (piefed.social)

Title. I'm annoyed. It's 18c a page, and $9ish shipping, but still.

It's been a looooooong time since I've done anything with printers, so I don't know what my options are.

Really I only have 2 requirements

works well with Linux
ink prices are sane

any suggestions?

Not sure about where you live and your options, but near me I have a few places where I can go in and print from a USB or the cloud or emailing. In the US, Staples is the most popular. There are little convenience stores that also have printers.

The prices are dirt cheap and no worrying about drivers and shipping and all that crap.

But I print so infrequently (typically only for my cover letter and resume) that it’s worth it for my case.

UPS and FedEx stores also have print services.
