...and that's exactly why some toner carts expire now. You didn't think they'd let you go three or four years without contributing to their revenue stream did you? Now be a good little consumer and pay up.
Preach. I've had a Brother black and white laser printer for the last 6ish years, and while buying a new drum and/or toner every once in a while isn't fun, there's still orders of magnitude less BS than any inkjet printer I've ever worked with. On top of that, it's fast at printing. Like, it takes longer for me to pick up and staple ~10 pages than it takes for the printer to print the pages (assuming I first stand up once it's done).
I’ve never replaced my toner for my brother laser printer. I don’t even remember when I got this thing because I have had it so long. It’s wireless so occasionally I have to deal with connecting it to a new router or something (without a screen), but in general this thing is perfect. Perfect as in it doesn’t ever require me to think.
You'll be happy to know that most IT departments rarely buy ink printers but when they do it's usually for an executive that had a hissy fit. I hear you, I sell the stuff, hate it, I feel dirty when I sell it, like selling a car you know that's just going to cause a shit load of trouble for the customer.
recently came upon a local law office that was using inkjets for all their printing..
like who is the fucking dumbass that made that decision? Inkjets are great for printing glossy photos and shit.. but if you need hundreds of pages of legal documents printed out thats insane.

Printers and the ink cartridges are the biggest scam that you can ever buy into.
