Default Can't repair home office printer, so need a new one

I'm going cross-eyed looking at ads for home office printers. Every

mixed reviews, many good ones and then some awful ones, which makes me
want to go look at the next machine.

My current printer is an HP Photosmart that keeps having an ink error.
In the past I've been able to do a master reset, which allows me to
print in black only, because that's all I need right now, but a 3rd
color cartridge ran out of ink and set up that ink error again. The
master reset hasn't worked this time, and I've tried it about 10 times
thus far.

I can buy the color ink cartridges and install them, but it's no
guarantee that it will them allow a master reset. It had been leaking
one of the color cartridges, and that started all of a sudden, but
allowed me to print in black until now.

So, I'm thinking it's time to chuck this printer that's at least 10
years old and get a new one.

Any recommendations? I like inkjet, color, and all-in-ones
(printer/scanner/copier...)

I just bought a Hewlett-Packard Envy 7645 that prints, scans, copies, and faxes. Works well for me, although I haven't bothered to hook up the fax option. This was to replace a similar HP that I had for five or six years that started to malfunction.

Bought my wife an HP Envy 4500 series printer that prints and scans but
lacks fax function. It was very easy to install but lost wifi
connectivity a few times and puzzling to get working again because, as I
mentioned elsewhere in thread, a paucity of instructions comes with the
printer. Nice thing about the wifi is that we can print from her
laptop, my desktop or her iPad with it.
