    BTW, I've had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

    I said to buy a laser printer and you're complaining about ink. Tell me you don't understand what we're talking about without telling me. I last spent $60 on toner in 2019 and the printer still works great. 5 years of printing when I need it is worth the cost instead of driving to staples every time even though it's literally 2 min away.

    Hm, looks like I equated laser printers with ink ones. I have no experience with laser printers, so they may actually be a lot better. Still, the upfront cost of printer plus accessories is not worth it for me when I print so rarely
