Printer help

I have an Epson Printer that has problem with ink. I have had to replace different ink cart but even if it shows one low it won't print anything like Open Office documents or pictures.

I was wondering instead of getting a new ink cart if there was something I can do in software or if not buy a new printer since this is rather old. Epson XP-330

Run the test print and keep cleaning the nozzles with your Epson Utilities, then print again. If the built-in cleaning routines don't unclog the nozzles, then the cost of a new printer is less than the cost of repairs at a shop. However, your supply of ink cartridges, if you have unused ones, will not be compatible with a new printer, so that's an added cost.

Since that doesn't clear up Magenta which is practically new and Black which is new and I am running out of yellow which is fine and Cyan is low which is also fine. I may have to get a new printer. I can still use this for scanning so any suggestions for black and white printer?

Brother laser printer.

Toner cartridge lasts forever. Can get 3rd party cartridges on the cheap that last forever. No clogging of injectors, ink drying out.

Oh and: has AirPrint.

It’s an annoying behavior of Epson printers. Anyway… I did find this:

I think the black and magenta are clogged since I nothing works when I use the print head clean method. and I don't want to buy yellow since its almost out and it isn't clogged.
