Xennial here, get a Brother laser printer if you can. The “starter toner” lasted me for like 4 years so far and is only now getting low. I can’t imagine going back to an inkjet that would always dry up since I used infrequently, but I still needed it.
Same, 3 years running, printing lots of shit for my own company and just now got a “low toner” warning which I’m ignoring for the last 2 or so months. Buying an inkjet is the biggest scam there is, you pay more in the ink and broken printers than you ever would for a laser.
Yep, finally got rid of my Epson BJ with a Brother b/w laser and it’s fantastic. A little louder but it functions like it should instead of complaining about low Magenta.
Bonus is you can buy third party refilled toner in bundles for like $15 for 3. I bought some a couple of years ago and I still haven’t burned through the first replacement
I upgraded my old printer about 6 months ago. Laser is far superior, and no longer particularly expensive. I also discovered they have solved the photo printing quality issue at some point (laser’s only real weakness). I ran off a photo and it came out near/at inkjet quality.

There have been reports that Brother has finally started being evil about third-party toner with new firmwares.
That’s why I’m thankful I haven’t updated mine and it’s an older model. People should look out for that for sure.
A second vote for brother lasers.

You do one up front payment and it saves so much money long term, so many people are against that concept
