If you don't need to print colors just get a simple black laser jet printer. Cost should be about the same and a cartridge of laser jet ink lasts for 10s of thousands of printouts not 50 like an inkjet. I haven't changed an ink cartridge in 3 years an print things all the time.

Buy a simple laser printer such as Brother models. Never buy ink anymore. Until the business model dries out.
Further back, companies such as Epson bought out almost all companies manufacturing great quality printer hardware with reasonably priced ink options. Others they drove out of business by offering cheap printer hardware at-cost. Was no markup for printers, most people would just go for the cheaper option, companies folded. Then the price of ink was pushed through the roof.
That business model needs to be allowed to go fuck itself. Stop buying the ink. Let it go fuck itself.
At the least buy a cartridge chip zapper from shanghai. And buy cheap ink. Learn to drill a hole in the cartridge and re-fill to cut costs. Simple procedure just need to go for it.
