    That and people buying inkjets and then printing one or two pages a year so the ink dries out and you need a full set of cartridges that cost 3/4 the price of the printer. Most home users should just get a mono laser and send color to Kinko’s or whatever is closer.

      Or buy a used color laser today, and have it forever.

      But yea, most people should have a small monochrome laser. They “just work” and never dry out.

      I have a 1996 Lexmark that still works with an occasional paper feed issue.
