Infrequent printing is actually a reason to choose laser though. Toner cartridges are already dry but I have had to refill ink enough times due to dried out that the money could have bought three laser printers. That is only partially affected by the "no black print until you replace cyan ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)" thing.

Yeah IDK what they're talking about, I've got a 8yo cartridge in a 19yo printer. When's the last time you saw an inkjet last that long?

Last July I replaced a 1996 Lexmark BW Laser. Though I think I can fix it.

Current printer is a 2012 HP BW wireless that I "inherited".

Yeah, but the ink is very inexpensive.

That was the point. I could have bought a laser printer with the money. Instead I got one later and wasted money on e-waste before then.
