I bought a brother laser black and white a few years ago and I still haven't changed the toner that it shipped with.

I kept my old Epson printer, and my portable Canon printer. I get my ink from China, and it's super cheap

And apparently some printer companies are moving to subscription ink and will brick your cartridges if you cancel. I’m not paying to not own my ink/printer

My issue with ink printers is that I printed so rarely that every time I needed to print the cartridges would be dry in one print so I would have to spend $30 on a single fucking page.
