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?

100% Brother LaserJet.

I recently got one after getting fed up of paying $30 for a color cartridge each time when I needed to print something twice a year.

I went B&W only instead of color. I figure if I need to print color usually it's portraits to frame and I'll send those somewhere anyways.
