AKICODW: scanners and printers and suchlike, oh my!

I need to get a printer and am considering the usual things one needs to consider (like ink costs, wireless etc). Some things are pretty straightforward, as I don't do a load of printing and don't want a giant all-bells-and-whistles machine, but what I'm really not sure about is whether I want it to have a scanner, which raises the price. There are some things I would like it for, basically hobby-related. On the other hand, post lockdown I will be able to scan stuff at work as I have done previously.

So comments welcome if you have a scanner and love it/never use it/can't make it work/don't have one and wish you did/don't have one and never need it etc. All thoughts gratefully received!


ETA: I am mainly struck here by how many people have HP printers!
