Printer head cleaning can burn through quite a bit of ink if the printer hasn’t been used in a while. And sometimes my parents go long stretches without using the printer.
The real question is, do you (or your family members) really need a home printer at all? I just go to a print shop when I need to print something out a few times a year.
We print a lot of Amazon return forms, church newsletter crap, and live in a rural area. Although frankly, I would do anything to not add another item to my errand list when I'm in town.
