    Oh my 10+ year old printer is still on its original set of cartridges, or maybe they’ve had at most one replacement set.

    The previous one, which also lasted several years but had to be replaced because there were no Windows 7 drivers. That had I believe one set of replacement cartridges over like 6 or 7 years.

    I have no idea what the hell is going on, it’s like I’ve been blessed with top 0.0001% printer luck as a stat. But like I said, I don’t intend to tempt faith and try again if this one needs new cartridges or it stops working altogether. If in a few years we discover that in this (or worse, next) decade kids STILL need to print a bunch of bullshit for school instead of emailing or submitting things via like moodle or something, it’ll probably be a laser and probably Brother, as it seems this article was a bit hasty and apparently they’re sitll good?
