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

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

[-] First@programming.dev 6 points 7 months ago

Because having only half of a printer doesn't serve any purpose.

That's just what HP wants you to think. Think about, you only really need half a page at any one time. They're just up charging you so they can sell more printer!

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 1 points 7 months ago

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)

I just go somewhere to print those things. They don't happen often enough to justify the space a printer takes up
