Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.

Yep, got tired of inkjet printers running out, clogging, print heads gumming up, just failing in so many different ways. I've had my laser printer for about 5 years and it's still rolling on the sample toner cart. Granted, I don't print all that often, but that's another reason I like this printer so damn much.

Same, they work especially well for infrequent printing. Ink jets love to dry/clog up after some time and require changing a toner that should still have plenty of ink in it.

I got tired of the sunken cost my ink jet printer was and got a Brother color-laser multifunction and it just works. Still using the toner it came with.

I've had a Brother printer for a good 20 years (USB 1.0 and Ethernet connections) and it has never clogged up on me. Sometimes I go months without printing.

Maybe it's also a laser printer
