We're getting a lot of "I hate HP, what are my alternatives?" posts, so I've decided to pin this. Hopefully, we can keep these discussions in one place. Update: This thread is starting to get a bit stale, so I've pinned a newer post for continued discussions about this topic.

An Epson 320 is a good choice no page count but it does tell you the ink level and I forget the price also that occasionall Color​ print will look amazing so it checks almost everything on your list More on reddit.com

Walmart's own website is filled with numerous negative reviews on these "Great Value" cartridges, people saying multiple error messages and the cartridges don't work properly etc. This may be in-part due to the fact that HP has a history of releasing firmware/driver updates that block the use of non-OEM ink cartridges. The good news is that HP Instant Ink is fast, cheap and allows you to save significantly vs. buying ink at retail: 50 pages/month plan currently runs $2.99/month or $36/year which is very close to the cost of a single set of replacement ink cartridges. For this you get 50 pages per month, and up to 50 unused pages rollover to subsequent months. Extra pages cost only pennies per page. New ink cartridges come in the mail, you return your old ones in the same box for recycling - postage paid. Any replacement cartridges that you might need while enrolled are fully covered. No worries about wasting ink on purge/cleaning cycles, etc - you ONLY pay for actual printed pages. Your printer automatically communicates with HP and you receive replacement cartridges before you run out. All you pay is a flat monthly price based on the number of pages you print, regardless of how many cartridges you need. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/instant-ink/overview.html More on reddit.com
