Every home printer I’ve owned, regardless of the brand, has been difficult to set up in the first place and then will stop working from time to time without an obvious reason until it eventually craps out. Even when consistently using the maintenance functions.

I dunno, I’ve had two HPs, and then a Canon now for over 15 years and is technically “not supported” but the Win8 driver still works fine on Win11. The 2nd HP I only had to replace because cat jumped on the tray and flipped the thing on the floor… parts everywhere lol. So the Canon has a self opening tray and is also very solid and the tray barely attached so if the cat did jump on it it would just break the tray. That’s the whole reason I got the printer (gotta love cats).
I’ve never used the maintenance functions so don’t know anything about that.
All inkjets, so the obvious the ink dries out after a year or so even if you don’t use it. other than that no issues.
Maybe if you want a good inkjet get a mid range home one and not the cheap ones (my mom goes through them like candy too, then there was the shit show if her trying to refill the ink, which I’d told her not to do).
