5 years ago I bought a 10 year old HP Laserjet because I was fed up with every single bubble jet printer’s quality and ink cost. I’m still using the toner that came with it. And I’ve been getting low ink warnings for 3 of those years. Maybe 500 or so pages in that time. I’d never buy a new HP though since they phone home. If you find an old Laserjet I can’t recommend them enough.
Which is sad. The HP LJ4 was a fucking tank back in the day. I used to get them for friends and family, put in an Ethernet card, clean it up, and then it’s print for another decade.
HP printers: A bad investment in not having your printer break by the 2 year mark
If you get 2 years out of an HP product, you’re doing pretty well.
