Same here. Granted, I don't print a lot, but maybe that's exactly why my Brother monochrome is so good for me. It cost three times as much as a basic colour inkjet with a flatbed scanner, but at least it's reliable whenever I do need it. It simply does what it's supposed to, and it's fast.
You can try, I recently went to buy Ink for my old HP ink jet and found it hard to find them in stock. Seems they stopped making them. A perfectly good printer is nearly useless because they stopped making cartridges
