    I did the same thing and then I bought a Brother inkjet and ignore the toner warnings.

    Now I don't need to deal with those miserable people at Staples.

    I used to use an inkjet printer, but I don't print very often, and I found t u can always print whenever you want.

    The one I bought also does scanning and copying - I've actually found the sc
    to. My wife has also used it a couple times when working from home - somet

    I used to volunteer on the board for a non-profit organization. I bought
    them a multi-function laser printer/ copier/ scanner. An 8000 page toner cartridge cost about the same as a 2000 page cartridge.

    I'm all in on Amazon for toner and ink cartridges. I picked up an inket
    MFP that takes individual color tanks, and found a third party that sells 3
    of each for $18 on Amazon - works great. It's the first time I've ever
    not thought about ink costs when printing with an inkjet printer. it
    lets me scan to PDF or scan photos, too.

    For big black and white jobs I have a cheap Brother laser printer -
    third-party toner is also cheap.

    i just print at work or at the ups store.

    One of my first jobs was at a law firm where every piece of paper
    printed needed a client code, and unbilled copies were scrutinized,
    HEAVILY.

    The computer room was on another floor, and sitting in the room,
    unappreciated, was an HP Laserjet that wasn't connected to the billing
    system. I appreciated the hell out of it.
