Mine was eating about 1/3 of the cartridges to keep the heads clean. It got very irritating, and when I needed to order new ones, I said the heck with it and purchased the laser. Got my fingers crossed that it will remain hassle free. I got it to print my labels on, and it does a fantastic job, and costs half of what Staples was charging me.I'm still using an HP 932C Deskjet that I bought in 2009. I've thought about something newer, but after reading reviews of the new, fancy all-in-one printers, I decided by old antique is far more reliable.
