    Got one (WF-2810) at our favorite online retailer monopoly and am pretty happy. The software is ugly and in some places unintuitive but works well, and it allows off-brand inks but “warns” you about them. It also prints relatively slowly (compared to printers of other people) but it really isn’t bad and I’ve had the current cartridges in for the past two years and they still work perfectly after a quick (automatic) refresh. The scanner is ridiculously slow though - I don’t mind but I can imagine it annoying some.

    Can recommend if you don’t print a lot or something!
