The brother printer my spouse has had for ages is finally running out of ink and a quick chedk shows that they don't make cartridges for it anymore, you cant reset them, and you can only buy dubious 3rd party options on amazon for $150 each. For that kind of money id rathet find a printer that let's me put of the scam, but im not finding a lot of options there. Does anyone have advice?

As a general tip: Unless you absolutely need color printing, always, always buy laser printers. Toner is much cheaper than ink, lasts longer, doesn't dry out, quality and print speed is much higher and the printers generally last much longer. Brother is a solid choice, and I'd stick with them unless you have specific reasons to choose something else. Maybe the MFC-L2820DW if money is not an object or you need the features, or HL-L2460DW if you're looking for a solid budget option and don't need anything fancy.
