@Sheik Yerbouti of all things today I was looking at printers. I know you don't do it for a living anymore but you're my only inside man. :D Tell me, are inkjet printers still the cheapest goods out there? I don't really want a printer at home on any level, but it's useful once in a while. Something cheap and durable would be nice, don't care about print quality.
Some doucher threw out his printer thinking it was broken, fucktard had just put in the wrong ink.

Inkjets are the cheapest, but over the long run, you'll spend a lot on cartridges, so be prepared. BnW or colour printing?

Sorry Gregger, inuendo interpretation error. Set verbosity += 1.
I can't count how many printers my office has been through lately, never having made it to the first replacement cartridge.

Most printers on the market are overloaded electronics packed into a cheap plastic time bomb. If any electronic component screams "Made in China" on the marketplace, it's the printer.

Ok, can you answer this? Can I get a cheap laser printer that will work (at very little use) for 5 years?
Though I know very little about laser printers as compared to inkjets, I do know that the life of a laser printer is longer than that of inkjets. But 5 years may be pushing it for a cheap laser printer. 2.5-3 would be more accurate considering you operate it properly.
