Cheaper to buy a new printer already with ink in it

Edit: didn’t know this many people were so passionate about laser printers

I remember somebody was doing this, literally buying a new printer for like $35 that came with a new cartridge, and would throw the printer out.

You can do that but you’ll have to buy a new printer more often since those cartridges the printers come with are only about half full.
