Canon is getting away with printers that won’t scan sans ink — but HP might pay

Remember when Canon got sued? The plaintiffs settled, I’m afraid.

    And my wife was just recently talking about buying a printer. Is there a company that is not an asshole?

      Seconding Brother. You’ll pay more up front for a laser printer (and Brother makes a good affordable one), but you’ll save ridiculous amounts of money on ink (toner).

        Thanks, I was leaning towards that brand for no particular reason. I’ll be happy to avoid having to buy ink.

      I haven’t had any issues with my Canon Color ImageClass. It even prints when it tells you the ink is low. For a very very long time.

      But whenever this topic came up, folks would recommend Brother or Canon. Just make sure that you’re getting a Laser printer and not an inkjet of some kind, and obviously, look up what people are saying about the model.
