Why would anyone buy such a printer? You could just go to a print shop at that point. Though honestly that’s already what I do so maybe it’s for the hikikomori or something. I don’t know why the home printer still exists in this day and age.
I work from home and print a lot of UPS labels. For personal use I print targets and lots of misc. stuff. Nice to have sort of thing.
Also, it's a B&W laser, and that's a world of difference from inkjet.
I still wouldn't take it on a subscription basis. My last home Laser lasted me ~15 years till the drivers just weren't there anymore and I was mostly using it as a stand to hold other crap on top of it.
Lol, sounds familiar.
My 1996 Lexmark laser just died this year.
I haven't owned an inkjets in 20 years, and won't ever own one again.
Oh no. Hell no not on a subscription.
