I’m looking for a good and reliable printer. Need a printer that can print both black and white as well as color, has scanning capability and doesn’t paper jam every 5 seconds. Prefer wireless. Any recommendations?
Printer recommendations?

I am somewhat in the same boat. Had an Epson Eco tank that I really liked but of course after a little over a year it kicked the bucket and stopped printing.
Epson is the one that I’m trying to replace. It worked fine until it didn’t. So I’m not sure I want to go back in that direction.
I know they are a necessary evil but at-home printers are garbage and an ink racket.
I'll also add a Brother laser printer is the way to go.
I've had this one for four years so far and it's been amazing! Still on the original toner cartridges.

You have to scan each page one at a time but it can all go into a single document.
This one has a document feed tray for scanning

I have the same one @cycloneG posted a link for and I finally had to replace the black toner in the last year.
Never buy an inkjet printer, even if Shaq will personally come fill it up for you
@mynameisjonas - how much do you really need color printing?
We switched to an HP B&W Laser printer (HP Laserjet Pro M148dw $130 at the time) ~3 years ago. Does duplex, feeder/flatbed scanner, etc. It's been completely reliable.
To me, it's the color feature that makes at home printers a bad value proposition. We need color maybe 2 times a year for stuff like birthday invites or some one off project. There's a couple places locally that will print those kinds of things for pennies.

Seconding any Brother laser printer. I have https://www.brother-usa.com/products/mfcl2710dw and it's worked like a charm with no issues over the past few years. Granted I rarely have to use it.
