I do not recommend any inkjet printer. Only laser. I'm happy with my brother laser printer.

Inkjet uses liquid ink or something and it's forever running out and needing to be replaced. Laser is powdered ink and lasts much much longer.

I have an HP Ink Jet printer - wireless - and I am very happy with it.
Mine is also a copier and scanner which comes in very handy because I try to keep all my records digitally as it makes them easier to find and eliminates clutter.
FWIW, I "subscribe" to the HP ink subscription program. You sign up and get a certain number of pages each month for the fee and are charged for overages. You can go up and down in quantity whenever you want and unused pages roll over.
The printer is connected to the HP website and so HP sends cartridges whenever they become low. They are larger than regular cartridges but it is also great to not have to worry about running out or making a dash to Office Depot

Any advice?
The giftcard I have is only to a certain place and can only buy epson or canon, so debating between the two, unless my HP starts working normally.

My filter is blocking your link but I love my epson eco tank printer BH.
For the poster that mentioned laser printers, several years ago that was true but nowadays the inkjet printers are actually better quality than laser IME.

I had Canons for many years. Went through ink like crazy. Definitely do not waste your money on brand name. You can find many knockoffs on eBay.
Then I switched to Epson. I use my printer very very heavily. But since I have an ecotank printer, my issues from before are non-existent. The ink lasts forever!! Even though it's expensive it's by FAR more economical and more convenient as well.

No advice but that is almost certainly a software issue.
You should go to the website and see if there are updated drivers or contact support - you can often ask questions online'

You need to look specifically for ecotank. If it doesn't say ecotank then it's not the right one.
