Any recommendations please.I have a Cannon MG 5750 which has developed a fault,I have tried the advised methods to fix but looks like another item for the skip in this throw away world.Any recommendations on what to buy or avoid.
Just for occasional home use.Easy set up for wireless.
Thanks

Budget? Laser or inkjet? Do you print photos?

If you don't print colour, and you're not printing 1000s per month, then without hesitation pick up a cheap bw laser with which you can use 3rd party toners. Samsung and Brother are usual candidates,

If you want colour, but not photos, then if budget (and space) allow it then I'd still go laser, with the same caveat on 3rd party toners. Brother have some which fit the bill

This.

I picked up a Brother laser from Argos for about £60 at the start of all this covid chaos for homeschooling and its been perfect - replacement 3rd party toners work a treat and are cheap.

Yup. got a Brother HL-L2350DW for B&W occasional home printing and it's been faultless - it's on the WiFi and we can print to it from computers, phones, tablet, etc. It's a mid-range one rather than a budget one so is a bit quicker printing out large chunks (I occasionally have to print out large documents and it does double sided), I'd never go back to an inkjet for what I use as I had no end of problems with the jets blocking up through lack of use.
£130 from Currys for a new one, no idea if there's a more recent model that's on offer or if it's cheaper anywhere else
