Xennial here, get a Brother laser printer if you can. The "starter toner" lasted me for like 4 years so far and is only now getting low. I can't imagine going back to an inkjet that would always dry up since I used infrequently, but I still needed it.

Bonus is you can buy third party refilled toner in bundles for like $15 for 3. I bought some a couple of years ago and I still haven't burned through the first replacement

There have been reports that Brother has finally started being evil about third-party toner with new firmwares.

That's why I'm thankful I haven't updated mine and it's an older model. People should look out for that for sure.
