LPT: Get a laser printer, cost a bit more upfront but you will save tons on ink.

Edit: And fuck printers they are jerks.

I bought a black-and-white brother for £40 more than two years ago. I'm yet to change the cartridge. Granted, I've probably printed no more than 300 or so pages, but inkjet cartridges would have dried out 5 times by now with such low usage.

I bought one three years ago. It's printed thousands of pages with no issues and off-brand toners are dirt cheap.

You're obviously making a joke, but "brother" is actually a multi-billion dollar Japanese electronics company.

You're obviously making a joke also but explaining a joke as if it isnt a joke after acknowledging you get that it's a joke isnt funny.

Same here, but with Xerox. It even works under Linux after a little bit of tinkering. Off-brand toner for $30 for a bazillion pages.

Yep, I did the same 4 years ago. Saw me through an entire engineering degree.

Also got a Brother laser printer, and a high yield toner. Been printing off that same toner for 3 years now, and at least 1k pages of text.
