At my insistence we bought a Canon laser all in one printer in 2022. It’s turning out to be more trouble than it’s worth, and it can’t do some stuff that some family members need, like printing on thick card stock.
I do, however, like the fact that the Canon reports toner levels to HA. Is there a normie inkjet printer that also has this functionality and won’t fleece us with BS ink subscriptions and lock us into using their ink?
I’d also like it to be JUST a printer, not an all-in-one. I’m looking at a dedicated scanner, which doesn’t need an HA integration.
While it won’t offer all the bells and whistles that a vendor-specific integration has, the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) integration is a nice generic integration that reports status and ink/toner levels of network enabled printers that support IPP. Its a very generic protocol, so I believe most network printers will work fine with that. That might help broaden your search a bit (our 2014 Canon laser printer works fine with it).
