![Canon PIXMA TS6420a All-in-One Wireless Inkjet Printer [Print,Copy,Scan], Black, Works with Alexa](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61x6KTFR8yL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
Most of what I print, I could use a black-and-write laser printer. Those are very fast, very quiet, and cost about 2c a page.
This printer is pretty fast for a color inkjet and does a pretty good job of rendering color if you use better-quality paper that doesn't swell up when you lay a lot of different color inks down. For someone who doesn't print much, the ink tanks don't clog up before the ink is half used. It's also pretty quiet.
I've had a color laser printer before, but it took seventeen guys and a 4-wheel-drive pickup with a winch to carry it upstairs, required more room than my wife's shoes, I had to buy a Kennedy roll-about tool box to set it on, it was noisier than that pickup I mentioned, and it shook so much that the local university called me when I used it, to make sure they weren't picking up an earthquake on their seismograph. And toner refills cost about $300. Ouch! When I moved, I left it behing, and thart was a shame; I would like to have that Kennedy tool box.
To install on Win 10, do NOT use the install disk; instead, download the drivers, etc., from the Canon website.
Canon scanners are great. And the software to run this as a scanner, a copier, and a printer, is good enough that my neighbor, a devout Luddite, can do all of those without reading the manual. I recommend using Irfanview, a freeware graphics utility, for scanning, because it's great for handling the images after you scan, but it's not necessary.
I bought this to replace my 2420, because it's only a tad more expensive than the ink cart, and I thought it mighht have some sort of enhancement. I haven't found any enhancements yet, but the 2420 made my neighbor happy; and I was having trouble with fixing her Brother printer that didn't handle cheap paper very well.
It's a big world out there, and there are surely other printers that will suit you even better, but I dpn't know what they would be. For most people, this is an excellent printer, doing everything they ask of it while costing little in deskspace, in purchase price, in paper and ink. Don't overthink it. This one will do.

Great Printer
I have ordered this model of printer before. I like the way they work. My last one is starting to get old and I needed a new one. Since I used the disc to set up before, all I have to do is just hook up a new one. Every time you put in new ink, you have to align the print head. To do that you need to just scan the print alignment sheet. To print an alignment sheet, just hold down the stop button until the orange light flashes 4 times. Sometimes when this model gets old it throws out blank paper. To stop that make sure the paper bin is completely full.
