    I’ll just point out that I have a 20 year old Dell business class color laser printer. Got it off Craigslist a few years ago for 40 bucks. It has Ethernet, with a webui. You can disable the toner chips if you want and only lose toner amount estimates and then use any toner you want. We even got the duplex attachment for it a few years ago.

    It is literally at least 3 feet tall and weighs at least 50 lbs.

    It literally makes all the lights in my house flick when we turn it on. We once blew a circuit when it turned on.

    We lovingly call it the Old Ding Dong Printer.

    As long as it works, why would I ever replace it? Products have gone downhill.
