Ideally I am looking for a printer with

  1. opensource - Hardware, firmware, drivers, All OS support,
  2. No Shenanigans like mixing up colors, wasting ink in storage, hidden codes
  3. Easy to maintain and repair,
  4. low ink cost
  5. No Wifi or bluetooth

I am having an impossible time finding “N” (network) models in most consumer stores. It seems that they have all been replaced by “W” (wireless) models.

The W models should still have an ethernet port, and you can disable the WiFi.

I didn’t want to assume requirements and OP specifically asked for no wifi/BT. If this is for a secure system then maybe a software disable might not be sufficient.
