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

  1. works well with Linux
  2. ink prices are sane

any suggestions?

If I need to print something (usually around once a year or more) I email it to myself. Then I walk into the local library and either ask if I can forward it to the person at the front desk to print, or sign into a computer and print the 2 pages.

Usually if it's under 10 pages a day, it's free. If your not sure, calling or checking their website before going will save you to time.
