I bought a cheap (£50) hp multifunction at the start of covid with an instant ink subscription. Obviously this involves dystopian DRM and the printer phoning home the number of pages I am printing but it actually works really well. I print over WiFi from Windows, iPhone, android, etc with no issues, cartridges arrive at my door before I need them, and the cost per page is competitive with professional equipment (under 5p for the ink even if full colour photo).

The cartridges belong to hp, not me, so they would stop working if I cancelled and I would have to buy my own. That's normal with pay per click printing, which is also the standard in high end leased machines. I don't want my computer to be an appliance but having the printer be 'just an appliance' is very convenient.
