Recommendations for a printer/photocopier

[Meath Lady]

My Brother MFC 5890 cn printer /photocopier/scanner has given up the ghost.
I would like to replace it with something similar if not too expensive.
I particularly liked this model as found it not too hard on the ink and the ink not too pricey.
I only want it for family use but am regularly printing /photocoping rtb registration forms and leases etc.
Any recommendations for something you have that has served you well would be appreciated

Anything but HP. They now lock their printers with firmware which prohibits the use of non-HP ink cartridges. I would never reward that kind of behaviour with my money.

The Brother DCP range always gets reasonable scores from the Which tests

Brother DCP-J1200WE

I bought mine from Harvey Norman Limerick for €99 three weeks ago

A couple of days after registering my purchase online with Brother I got 4 tanks of ink in the post, free.

Wireless, seamless, printing from Mac, iPhone, iPad, colour scanning, the works. So far so brilliant.

Agree with Dermot. EPSON Eco Tank ET-2860 every day of the week. Got one as a present last year for my office and liked it so much I bought another one for household use a couple of weeks ago.

Brother now does the same. Thankfully my supplier sent out new toners to get around it. Also annoying it's it tells me I have to replace a colour toner so I can print in Black. It has separate black toner. It's all a scam. The EU should fine this behaviour.

Another agreeing with Dermot. EPSON Eco Tank ET-2860
Have one, filled it with ink about 3 years ago and hasn't needed a refill. Incredibly economical.

Thanks everyone. Looks like the Epson is winning out here.
I am not very tech minded but presume this would also photocopy

Samsung laser printer gets my vote; wifi enabled allows me to print from phone.

If I need a copy of anything, photo on phone & print.

I do however have an excellent camera on the phone.

@Meath Lady. Yes Wi/Fi capable and can photocopy
