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.

Brother Laser! See, I don't even know what it is. That's how much I don't fuss with it. I do ignore the toner warnings :).

I've been using HP Laser (Color for about 9 years now), mostly because Brother was less out of the box ready with Linux. With HP, every device I typically print from including my phone just works. Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android all load and print without any special issues. I replaced the tonor cartridges once in the past decade, I don't print much, but when I do, it just goes.

Newer HP multifunction printers need plugins you need to install. It is still easy but no longer plug-and-play.

My SO's multifunction printer is mainly used for its scan-to-pdf functionality... Generally just put in a thumb drive and scan to image or pdf on the device, it's not used other than that. I don't like having to install extra junk, and don't really need it for printing itself, that and it's ink, which I'm not fond of. I need to find a better spot for it, as it takes up a lot of space for something that only gets used a couple times a year.

You don't have to convince me on HP Laser, especially a Color Laser :))

My first printer was a HP Laserjet+ and then HP Laserjet 4m with ethernet.

I didn't have a printer for a long time after that and the Brother was just to get my family to shut the hell up about printing :))

Basically, I am jealous of your HP Laser Color but I hate printers :((
