I’ve owned many printers (starting back when a _cheap_ color printer cost several hundred 1990s dollars) but for the last few, they were used so rarely that the next time I needed to print out some government document for something (the only time I found myself needing one) the inkjet would be dried out, making the printer useless so I’d buy a new cheap one, which would sit unused until the next time I needed to buy a new cheap one. (Meaning when I printed something I was paying like $10 or more per page.) The last time I printed anything was more than 15 years ago now.
