I bought my parents a $50 Brother laser printer about 12 years ago. They’ve been using it since then and I don’t think they’ve ever even changed the toner.

Before that, they’d buy new inkjet printers every year for the same price and ink a couple times a year because some specific color would dry up, and printing black and white wouldn’t work since the printer couldn’t print the mandatory stealth tracking codes. So much time and money wasted buying shitty inkjet printers (which seems to be all of those in the consumer market).
