I haven't owned an inkjet in 20 years. I will never own one again.

It's worth the extra money for laser. I just replaced my 1996 laser printer. I don't remember ever replacing the toner.

Oh, and it was smaller than most printers you can buy today.

Took an old HP laser from my last job. It's tiny and can't seem to break. Using it now for WFH where I have to print plenty of shipping labels.

Spent $60 of company money on 4x toner cartridges. Seems like cheating. I'm shocked when one actually runs out, can never remember where I stashed the spares. 1,500+ pages from one cartridge? Like I care.

(The wifi is a pain, interferes with (more noise) other shit and seemingly can't be killed. "Hey Google, turn on/off the printer." Small annoyance.)
