Epson inkjets with refillable tanks probably.
Depending on the frequency of your printing, they can suck as well. Chronically clogged nozzles are maddening.
And this is why I'll never connect my working printer to the internet.
Taking a USB stick to it to print is annoying, but fuck this shit.
They're all horrible companies
What's stopping you from connecting it to the local network but denying internet access? E.g. via a firewall rule or separate VLAN?

Drag thought Brother were supposed to be the makers of user friendly printers. Are they enshittifying?
