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.

Tl;dr – the money is made on the ink, printer prices are a race to the bottom to get you to buy their brand so they can overcharge you for ink forever. Low prices means absolutely bare minimum quality components and cheap tricks to get you to buy more ink (like if yellow is empty you can’t print black)
