We finally replaced the toner in ours after... 8 years? And it was still printing fine, I just couldn't bypass the warning anymore (started complaining at 1500, finally replaced at ~2400)
It got us through:
- wife's immigration paperwork
- my contracting work (lots of contracts)
- lots of handouts for various community stuff
- COVID at-home school assignments
- drawing pages for the kids
And so on. The new one should last 8k more pages, so I think I'm set pretty much forever.
