I got a notification today that my HP Instant Ink subscription, which rose from $3/mo to $4/mo last year, is rising to $5/mo. this year. My subscription covers 50 pages a month, so that's 10 cents per page.

This is making me more inclined to switch to a (non-HP) color laser printer, but I'm finding it challenging to find reputable information about total cost of ownership. Would love some suggestions!

I have an HP color laser and I have no complaints. HP M281cdw. I doubt they make it anymore though because they discontinue these things quickly.

Works from Windows, Mac, Linux, Airprint, iPad, iPhone, etc. No driver installs needed. I use it from the command line on Mac - I use groff - and it prints those PDF or PostScript files without issue, though oddly the duplexer works from the command line only if I use a generic PostScript driver.

I use only genuine HP supplies because I know of no other reputable supplies vendor, so I can't say whether non-HP supplies work.
