I bought a Brother laser printer some years back for like $120 and am still working on the starter toner cartridge. HP can fuck right off with this.

My laser printer is so old that it's USB 1.0.

It's on its second toner cartridge and I have no plans to get rid of it.

Same here. BW Brother printer and I can get 3 toner cartridges for about $25. At about a dozen pages a day, those cartridges last me a whole year.
