anecdotal recent experience.
my father recently bought and returned an Epson WorkForce ET-3750 which he had purchased to replace his older WF. It required two updates out of the box just to get it to work remotely on par with the older WF printer. It was still much slower afterward. Scanning was also a step back in that it cannot scan both sides on its own. However the biggest problem was that it was much noisier.
So do a lot of research before jumping into the pool. The printer manufactures are not giving away their premium on cartridges at similar price points.
Me, I got a WF2650 for less than thirty bucks from Epson over the holidays on clearance with free shipping. For me they are disposable at that price and I have done that more than once. Fortunately the local waste site has a separate section for small electronics like these

They take into account the cost of the number of healthy years lost 1c. They are informed on the health implications of their line of profession 2. The market of metal salvaging is not substituting another market (for example farming or fishing) 3. The children are not coerced or enslaved All of these statements are most likely false. By promoting the development of the metal salvaging market, you are preventing a third alternative: the development of new markets (or the sustenance of healthier markets).
