      I bought a color brother laser printer 3…almost 4 years ago. It still has the toner that came with it. We use it probably 1-3 times a week. Still going strong. Still plenty of toner left.

      Colour laser printers aren’t particularly good if you like to print photos and they are more expensive than inktank printers

      It’s better to get an ink tank printer that you can refill ink tanks with from bottles instead do dealing with proprietary cartridge garbage

        That’s the best part about toner- it’s already dry. I would suggest taking out the toners once every few months to give em a good shaking. And maybe a self clean/calibration once every 6mo-1yr if printing low volumes. Though, it’ll probably be fine if ya never do that either. Unless someone is doing photo prints often, ink printers are actually a scam. And the consumer drivers, especially HPs is becoming problematic.
