I only need to print one or two things per year, and a long time ago I realised it wasn't worth me owning my own printer for that. Now I just get stuff printed out at the local library.

The per-page cost is relatively high, but still an order of magnitude lower than amortising the cost of a whole printer myself, not to mention offloading the hassle of maintenance and refills, and the money goes to supporting the library - which I'm totally fine with. Yeah, I have to go to the library to do the printing, but it's not that much out of my way, especially if I combine it with other errands nearby.

I spent about $400 on a color laser MFP and I'll probably never consume all the toner in my lifetime! My amortization schedule sucks compared to yours

That said, the scanner has been super-handy through the pandemic
