Would we be better with a laser printer?

3. A B/W laser printer is much more economical.

The toner doesn't "expire", and you get many more pages out of a cartridge. My first laser printer worked almost 20 years before I had to upgrade with a newer system (new PCs don't have parallel ports.) In that 20 years, I went through a grand total of three toner cartridges, counting the one that came with it, which lasted five years.

A couple years ago, I upgraded to a very basic color laser printer. The original three color cartridges have lasted almost that long (they were sorta light-duty ones)--I've replaced two, and the third is almost due for replacement. I bought the higher-capacity replacements, and together they actually cost more than the printer did. But I think they'll be lasting a good long time.

Yes, a laser printer is, IMHO, a much better solution.
