I had a number of ink jets and the ink cartridges literally dried out before I could print many pages, mostly due to the infrequency of my printing. I finally switched over to black and white laser and won't look back. Toner seems to last MUCH longer.

My hp inkjet has empty cartridges after 14 print jobs of a page or two since the last refill. The firmware on this one is so crappy that it's turned me off of hp printers for good. (And I've had them since the deskwriter era).

Lasers, on the other hand. Cheap and effective. I've got a Brother that's normally $80 at NewEgg/Amazon. The toner lasts 20% longer than advertised, it's fast, and it's never asked me to accept an EULA. I'd buy another one, but I don't expect to need another laser till well after this is discontinued.

Our first toner cartridge lasted 6 years.
