BTW, I've had my Brother laser MFP for 11 years and still on the original toner.

Canons are probably the best consumer grade, but you'll save money in the long run by just buying an Ink Tank printer instead. Just make sure you do regular maintenance so it doesn't explode ink out the bottom, used to be a big issue in the 90s.

Just print at your local university or shopping center. A personal printer is just not worth it

Why are so many people still printing often enough to justify having a full printer?

Because we live in the real world where you still need to physically print, sign, and return things. Lol, sucks, but that is life.

It's not often, and when the need arises, it's usually important, so a laser printer is there when you need it and works without fuss (or having the ink dry up during long periods of dormancy)
