I had to get one during covid lockdown since I wasn't going to the office and staples messed up my jobs most of the time (and it wasn't cheap). I got a laser all-in-one and got knock off toner from Amazon and it works great and I got it for less than $90

Personally, I like not needing to dedicate the space to a printer. The rare times I need to print something, I'll just go to a store with a print shop like staples. Over the last 8 years, I've spent less than $10 on all of my printing needs, which is still way cheaper than even the most cost-effective, least-HP printer out there.

Eh just go to the library and use theirs on the cheap.

I just go to a print/copy store. Pay up, be done with it.

i had to print 2 whole pages a few years ago, and gone to a office supply store. told them i would like to pay for it by card...cashier told me if i use the card, the banking transaction cost more than printing two a4 papers, so long story short it was free.

these stores usually have a printer so expensive i wouldnt be able to pay for it with all my organs, but its cheaper to print there then having a printer at home.

as for work, i dont like the looks people give me when i print there. i like to keep my private life out of the office, i recommend the same. if you want to print out a long ass book however, and nobody cares at work, go ahead.

Last year I bought an old second-hand Brother laser printer for $20, with 60% ink and 75% on the drum. Works like a charm.

A printer's cheap. It's the ink.

I have a printer, actually. I use it pretty often, too. No internet connected, while the Canon 4200 series do have wifi capability I generally stick to the USB cable.

In a pinch I would go to a library or I would even visit a print shop for more exotic prints.

Don't send anybody anything to print at home. If you need something physical in today's year, you go through that effort and mail it

Idk man. I’ve had the same printer for years and I don’t think I’ve ever replaced the ink. Very rarely have to print, but it’s sure useful when I need to. I use the scanner more than anything

Given the extortionate cost of printer ink, owning a printer is a mug’s game. Much like owning a car if you live in a walkable urban environment but might need to drive somewhere once every year or two.

My label maker sees FAR more use. I do have to bring a printed form to the post office to confirm my purchase of my new P.O. Box though. Oh, also to get my replacement passport. Other than that, I can’t remember the last time I used it for printing.

The hardest part about returns is driving to the local library to print out the return label for 25 cents.

Much less trouble than owning a printer!!

What the fuck? How do they return shit they don't want? Do young people just keep everything they order?

I wish I could turn mine on. The power button is so flimsy that it broke, so now it functions as a foot stool.
