All in one printer suggestions

[Carmudgeon]

I read an article today about an LG washer that sends data to LG servers every time the owner uses the washer!! The owner disabled the data flow at the router!!!

According to this story, it might be Asus' router firmware crying wolf…which would not be surprising.

I replaced an old EOLed Asus router with a new, better model, and some time in between that span, their software quality took a dive, with flaky features, and failing at things like basic reporting.

My 10-15 year old HP L7680 inkjet is giving a print head fault, and I've tried the online suggestions with no luck. Probably time for a new AIO printer. I also have a bulletproof Canon B&W Imageclass D320 laser printer/copier that is just as old which I use 90% of the time, but still need something that prints in color and can scan.

The only thing I want that the old one doesn't do is automatic 2 sided printing. The only thing I disliked about the HP was the ink, which runs if the paper happens to get wet. I assume there are no waterproof inkjet inks? I would have to go laser for that? I see the laser ink cartridges cost as much as the printers themselves.

Any suggestions for something with low ink costs like the refillable tank models? Leaning towards a Canon Pixma G7020 at under $300, but can go higher.

Find one that has a replaceable head. I have an OfficeJet Pro 6970 all in one which I like but the print head is not replaceable. Sometimes Magenta will erratically stop and start. Not a clogging problem. I suspect it's the ribbon cable which is integral with the head.
