save money, don't have to deal with all the bullshit about having a printer.

I did the same thing and then I bought a Brother inkjet and ignore the toner warnings.

Now I don't need to deal with those miserable people at Staples.

An inkjet printer doesn't use toner. It uses...... ink.

Good point there. I think the same people work at Office Depot.

Does your employer know that, and approves of it?

or at the ups store.

More expensive than just owning/using your own printer. But it probably
makes sense..... to you.

I used to use an inkjet printer, but I don't print very often, and I found that by the time I wanted to print something again, the ink would be all dried up. I decided to buy a laser pritner - They do cost more up front, but toner doesn't dry out, so you can always print whenever you want.

The one I bought also does scanning and copying - I've actually found the scanner convenient for scanning in receipts and other documents that I want to save and be able to easily open them up on my computer to see them or email them to someone if I need to. My wife has also used it a couple times when working from home - sometimes there will be a document she needs to sign, and since they don't have an online signing system, she'll print it, sign it, and then scan the signed copy to send back.

You can ignore the toner warnings because the inkjets don't have toner cartirdges.

I used to volunteer on the board for a non-profit organization. I bought
them a multi-function laser printer/ copier/ scanner. An 8000 page toner cartridge cost about the same as a 2000 page cartridge.

I'm all in on Amazon for toner and ink cartridges. I picked up an inket
MFP that takes individual color tanks, and found a third party that sells 3
of each for $18 on Amazon - works great. It's the first time I've ever
not thought about ink costs when printing with an inkjet printer. it
lets me scan to PDF or scan photos, too.

For big black and white jobs I have a cheap Brother laser printer -
third-party toner is also cheap.

One of my first jobs was at a law firm where every piece of paper
printed needed a client code, and unbilled copies were scrutinized,
HEAVILY.

The computer room was on another floor, and sitting in the room,
unappreciated, was an HP Laserjet that wasn't connected to the billing
system. I appreciated the hell out of it.
