After I bought a bunch of inkjet printers and figured out ink tank modifications ..... I finally just bought a good Canon Inkjet Printer.
After ten years of messing around with these dumb printers for about ten years my inkjet printer has been working fine for the past ten years and I've only ever changed the toner once and never had any problems.

You said "ten years" so many times in one sentence that I'm honestly unclear on how much time passed.
It was a time loop ... it could have been ten years, maybe more, maybe a hundred years .... I don't know
Yep. Can anyone explain why this is?
Because printer manufactures are money grubbing bastards.
The amount of ink that comes with an inkjet printer is tiny. So a new printer comes with 10mL of ink, and the refills are 35mL or more. You quite literally get what you pay for.
The other reason is that inkjet printers need to be used on a regular basis, or the ink can dry out. But manufacturers have handled this by having the printer drip out tiny bits of ink all the time, so it's literally using the ink even when you aren't using it.
For the vast majority of people, a cheap laser printer is the far better option. Unless you want to produce art prints, but at that point you're looking at spending a ton of money anyways.
Anyone ever tried to assemble a compute cluster from these?
Get an ecotank printer
I have am epson ecotank and they actually make money on the printer instead of the ink, you fill the ink into tanks on the printer
LOL, but what about ecotank technology?
Why is it the cyan that's low in the comic? It's always fucking yellow that they scream about.
I have bought a "starter" cartridge inkjet, a "premium“ AIO inkjet, and (supposedly) one-of-the-better-ones monochrome laserjet. All of them gave me nothing but grief. I used to think this was an accepted loss with the entire printing landscape, that it's a problem of the domain itself.
Turns out it was because I had always bought HP.
The last final printer I bought is a Brother inktank. It is not without its quirks, granted, yet I have never felt so easy.
God knows how much of a grief stricken, pain inducing, blood boiling, poisoned my life was– because HP. Once I switched to a different vendor, a burden of sorts was lifted.
i have had a total of 5-6 products in my lifetime from HP, and I'm pretty sure each one has easily taken out years from my life expectancy.
