“Plus it doesn’t dry up if I don’t use it for a while.”
Don’t even get me started on that. It seems to cost me $40 every time I need to print a page. I cannot for the life of me remember to do a maintenance print regularly to keep the cartridge alive.
I got a refurbished HP laserjet 1006P for about $300. The cartridges are about $30 and last thousands of pages. It’s black only. Another plus is that you can get parts and repair them forever.
