I've had the same Brother printer since 2009, my ex left it with me in 2015 and I still have it.

I still haven't changed the toner cartridge, it stays unplugged and unhooked except 2-3 times a year when I need a shipping label printed.

I watched a video yesterday about these $195 printers or you rent for $9 a month for two years that end up costing 50 bucks more at the end of the rental period and you still don't own the printer after that. If you print more than 20 pages a month then you get charged more.
