My first printer was the BJC-4300. It actually wasn't that unreliable, but that was 1998 and it hadn't been sitting for 25 years. We used to get bottles of ink and refill our cartridges, it was easy without chips on the carts. The printer died after the house across the street was struck by lightning. Print quality was pretty terrible, especially compared to the HP Photosmart my uncle had a the time that saturated the paper with ink.
I had the scanner too and frankly it's pretty awful. In my examples every scanned image had a pattern of lines across it, not sure if it was from light leaking in from the front of the machine and if the results were better in the dark. The red, green and blue lights were pretty though as it scanned. Here's one I dug up from backups, a scanned photo of my pet rabbit from 2001. Scan lines clearly visible.
