do you have a home printer that you like

My old canon is quitting on me. Need something that can do the occasional high quality color print. Also need a scanner. Got one you like?

I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8020 --

it's fine. Set up was fine. I think it was fussy about which band of the home wireless it wanted but it tells you in the instructions if you read them.

It prints in color. It might do some high quality prints but I never have needed that.

You basically have to sign up for an ink subscription for it to run. HP monitors its usage and then sends you ink when you need it. I guess that's convenient but I find it a little creepy. My guess is that they're all like that now as the companies want a guaranteed income stream.

It has a scanner.

I've had it maybe four or five years now.

It's perfectly OK. I'm not head over heels in love with it but it's a decent printer and I probably bought it because HP has made printers forever.

I've had it about 6yrs now and I give it the highest compliment, "I've forgotten its there!"

It's our wifi network printer/scanner/fax so we both use it frequently. I think the only thing I've done since owning it is change the toner (once).

thanks -- is it color?

Nope! Monochrome only.
