    If you’re like me and only print something once or twice a year, check whether you can print at your local library. It may cost a few cents per sheet, but I’d sooner give my library a dollar than give a company like HP a penny

      Probably pretty well given some companies and people will be some silly little tech sluts for the convenience of not looking up better alternatives for 10 minutes, and likely paying a bit more upfront.

      That said I hope there’s gonna be some printer piracy

      And with brother there is a “ignore low toner warning” option that lets you keep printing until the toner is actually gone.

        Our Brother laser printer just ran out of toner for the 2nd time in 12+ years. We bought a new toner cartridge for $12 that will last us another 5+ years.
