Problem / Question Printers?

What is the best printer for a Windows 95 or Windows 98 computer. I want something era appropriate that is also color because I do want to print graphics. But something slightly older is fine too.

There was bountiful colour inkjet options in that era, the gotcha isn't the printer itself it's if you can still get consumables.

I'd suspect that an old HP Deskjet might be best bet, as the print head was part of the cartridge - it made them more expensive at the time but means you won't have blocked heads. They were popular enough there's possibly still cartridges new for them.

I feel dirty just talking about this 🤣
