I caught on to the printer ink scam many years ago. I use my printer only as a scanner. On the very rare occasions when I need to print something, I take the file to Fedex, very close to me. Less than a dollar a page.
My wife and I use toner printers. Thousands of pages and we replace the toner on her printer about once every two years to the tune of $25 for two cartridges.
My toner lasts about twice as long. I print about a page a day. My printer is also about 15 years old. I am surprised that it still works with Windows 11.
We can’t do color, but somehow managed to get along without it for decades.
I rarely print anything on my Ink Cartridge Printer. Mostly just my Tax Forms, once a year. A couple of years ago, I had a Cartridge Problem. I wasn’t gonna get replacement cartridges in time, so I ended up sending pretty pink forms to the IRS that year… ☺
I have a Canon printer that takes 2 cartridges. The black cartridge runs out pretty fast, then it uses the color cartridge. It’s much more convenient than having to run to Fedex every time I want to print something
Amazing, or just frustrating, that Amend said this 21 years ago. Still the business model for ink printers. If my county had not had a free electronics recycling event, I’d have taken a sledge hammer to our previous HP inkjet for all the troubles it caused. The replacement Canon laser is a god-send.
Simple solution, Andy. Invest in a laser printer. I’ve had great luck and experiences with Brother brand laser printers. You can get a no color printer (non-wireless) for under $99. We’ve currently got a Brother MFC-L3780CDW and it’s awesome! Wasn’t cheap, though…

Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a new printer, then to buy replacement cartridges for an old printer.
