I have a 23 year old Brother 490CW Inkjet printer, and I love that damn thing.
I print maybe 20-30 pages a year, mostly return labels, around 4 years ago I had to print around 200 pages which it did without a hiccup.
Once a week it wakes up and does its maintenance and I truly love it when it does it.
During these 23 years I've bought 2 sets of 20 inks at less than 15€ per set (2010 and 2014, which reminds me that maybe it's time I buy another one). The printer itself did cost 160€ in 2010.
I think I'll never get as lucky again as I did with that printer.
