@texas_tia_two I have been using an HP printer for the past eight years without any issues. It has a flatbed and a feeder, but I also only use the flatbed. HP Officejet 5740- that's how old mine is. I can scan documents or photos which look lovely. I can scan and save them on my desktop or laptop. I print all of my labels plus any documents. I believe I paid, brand new at Office Depot, $55.00 back then.
I also signed up for HP Instant Ink, which monitors my ink usage and sends me a cartridge when I am low. It is a monthly cost of $4.00 and I always have full ink. It's just so easy and convenient for me.
FYI- my printer also prints photos but I've never done that. Plus it can fax, but again I never bothered to set that up as I don't use faxes anymore. I only print and this works perfectly for me.
