It’s also annoying to buy expensive ink, debug printer issues and have the printer take up space in your home. Guess it’s a matter of what annoys you more
Brother, you just described why I bought a toner based printer. The ink is cheap AF, doesn’t dry out, doesn’t require frequent test pages, doesn’t brick if I disable the ink subscription because I don’t print that much, the drivers are all released GPL by the printer company, and it can just sit on a shelf I wasn’t using anyway. I haven’t looked at it in weeks and as an added bonus I dropped the print contrast to increase the longevity of the toner cartridge.
I said to buy a laser printer and you’re complaining about ink. Tell me you don’t understand what we’re talking about without telling me. I last spent $60 on toner in 2019 and the printer still works great. 5 years of printing when I need it is worth the cost instead of driving to staples every time even though it’s literally 2 min away.
Hm, looks like I equated laser printers with ink ones. I have no experience with laser printers, so they may actually be a lot better. Still, the upfront cost of printer plus accessories is not worth it for me when I print so rarely

Yeah that’s the crap a Brother laser printer makes go away.

Good for you
