        If you have to print, that’s probably the best option. I’m just happier without any of this.

          ?

          There’s no problems with it, I’ve had it for like 8 years. I ran out of toner last year and replaced the cartridge for like $40.

            Yeah, I don’t know where the person you replied to is coming from. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Brother laser printers for a long time now. I know it’s become cliche to say positive things about them, but man, they are so much better than garbage HP inkjets (or really almost any inkjet).

            If all printer companies somehow move into the subscription space then I guess I will be going to somewhere like FedEx-Kinkos about once a month for when I need to print something.

              It’s in the spirit of never printing anything for the rest of your life, like how thread OP meant. The printer seems to be highly recommended, but you’d still be spending money on printing.

            Oh I interpreted “just got” as you just bought one

            I’m only joking though, I just have personal trauma with printers and refuse to own one
