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

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...)

We have an Epson Workforce 635...even does 2-sided printing (slicker than sh*t). It has never jammed in 6 years and we use it a fair amount for church and technical stuff. 3-color does excellent photo printing and they're not dinky cartridges. *****5-stars

I, too have an Epson Workforce. I believe it's in the 3600 series...I'm not
home to check. I paid $149 a few years ago. Love it!

2 sided printing and copying, document feeder, rear feed for one-off
paper sizes, 2 drawers for different papers. Flatbed and document feeder
scanning/copying. Separate ink cartridges for each color, high capacity
cartridges available. It warns you when a color is getting low and gives
you the option to print anyway, adjusting the colors slightly instead of
refusing to print.

It's wireless so we can print from our PC, iPads or Android phones.

I use an free app called NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner 2) for scanning
docs to PDF. My two daughters list my house as their home address while
they are away at school, so I often have to "forward" mail to them. Scan,
save, email, done.
