THIS is why I've pretty much given up on the idea of inkjet printers. I have a LaserJet 1320 sitting here and turn it on when I need to print something, otherwise it just sits there and doesn't use anything up. Love that duplexer, too! :-)
Yep. Consumer inkjet printers have for many years been a scam perpetrated upon people who don't know any better, and won't learn about technology before using it. Or more importantly, buying it.
Xerox WorkCentre 4260 and HP Color LaserJet 5550dtn here. No time for farting around with consumer toys; I have work to do.
I cannot count the number of times I've had the same conversation with clueless people:
Me: "That's dumb. You would be better off with a laser printer."
Moron: "Laser printer! OH NOES, toner cartridges be 'SPENSIVE!"
Me: "How many pages do you get from a $50 set of inkjet cartridges?"
Moron: "150 or so"
Me: "I get about 20,000 pages from a $150 toner cartridge."
Moron: [eyes glaze over] "But...FOOTBALL!"
