    Yeah I bought the cheapest bw laser printer I could find like 10 years ago. 1 toner cartridge replacement that whole time. And it was like 20 bucks. I have a spare, thats how accessible toner is.

      i bought the cheapest brother bw laser printer about a year ago - proceeded to print a solid 20 different TTRPGs in a week, replaced the toner, and now i’ve been on the second toner for a little under a year. amazing experience, you only run out if you want to print a library, for documents that thing’s going to last forever

      Back in 2004 my dad brought home an ancient HP LaserJet 4L. Simply replacing one internal piece inside with a K’Nex (like Lego) the toner lasted all throughout my high school years.
