I have an old HP color inkjet. It works reasonably well when it

out a page or two, so when I want to use it, it doesn't want to work.

If all you are doing is to print a page or two every two months then
clearly you don't need any printer and instead you could copy the
document on to a flash drive and take it to your local library or to a
nearest shop (or to your friends if you have any but most people these
days aren't talking to their neighbours!!! either) that does printing
and let them charge you 10 cents per copy. It is much cheaper that way
then to have a monster in your house and.

All printers are the same. If your current printer is giving you
problems then there is no guarantee new printer won't give you the same
problems.

Six miles to the nearest library to find the dowagers that run the
place won't let anyone plug a USB drive into their computers. The
next nearest is 37 miles. My bank let me make a copy but I can't
think they'd do it on any irregular basis.

We have a UPS store they may do something like that.
