I used to do this, and I did occasionally find mistakes, but the task is incredibly boring and the hourly rate for the work is abysmal. I glance at the statement and look for anything that seems out of place, but it’s not worth the time. It’s not that I trust everything to be error free, I just have better things to do with my time.
Unfortunately, I haven’t a clue what you just stated. But I do have a key to my mailbox. 
A3? Are you satisfied with it? Would you recommend it?
Bolding mine.
I infer that you are printing as much as you want or need for much less than 1 $ / day. That seems OK to me.
Yes, but it would only print a much smaller number of pages. In the end you would pay more per page.
I don’t reconcile either, but I do look at my bank accounts nearly every day, and note any discrepancies of things that I didn’t buy. Only one other person has access to my business card, so it’s easy enough to ask if it was their purchase.
Your grandchildren can probably explain to you how to print to PDF. It’s pretty easy.\
And I reconcile statements, except I do so in Quicken.
There’s no such thing as a file that can only be printed on paper, but not saved to a pdf. There exists free software that will do what you want and save paper.
Software is not only free, but comes with Windows 10.
My company bought a black and white Laserjet combo scanner 8 years ago. We’ve gone through 3 ink cartridges since we bought it. I just looked it up and I can buy replacements from Cannon for $92. I don’t mind doing that every 3 years or so.
Tell the computer to print the file as normal, but select the option to “print to PDF”.
I was gonna say this. Somehow, though I never intentionally print color, my inkjet colors are always running low. I spent more on ink than the device by a factor of 3.
Bought a B&W laser and I never have to touch the thing.
You’ll see that as an option in the list of printers to choose from. You might have to scroll down the list of printers to find it.
Your browser/computer may or may not have that option. I think it may be built into Chrome. But other applications like Firefox would need something like “Bullzip PDF” installed, that will install a virtual printer in Windows that will instead save to a PDF when you “print” to it.
Print to PDF is built into Windows 10.
It is called Microsoft Print to PDF and is a default printer in the printer list.
Also Microsoft XPS Document Writer, though I’ve never used that one.
Ah that’s the difference. I had just helped someone print to PDF this morning, but they had Windows 7.
Most toner carts can be easily refilled: https://www.google.com/search?q=Lexmark+CS410dn+toner+refill&rlz=1C1ASVC_enUS940US940&oq=Lexmark+CS410dn+toner+refill&aqs=chrome…69i57j0i22i30l2j0i390.4767j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
The good news is that the carts shipped with the printer aren’t full to save cost and sell the printer cheaper. If you to 1000 prints out of the original carts, you may get 2x or more out of the replacements. It’s the Gillette model that’s been used for years, sell the razor cheap and make money on the blades.
As an aside. This the same model that business copier lease companies use. Lease you a mult-tens of thousands of dollar copier for a low price, give you free toner and maintenance (it is their machine after all) and charge you multiples of the actual cost of the toner use per page. With per page color prints being priced exponentially higher than B/W.
Another costly replacement for most laser printers are the drums (some manufacturers like HP integrate the drum and toner cart). One drum for each color. A quick check shows that kit for the model in the OP is ~$250-300. On some printers, the drums can be replaced individually. On this model all four drums much be replaced a s single unit. Which means that even if you never printed color, once the black drum conks out or is damaged, the entire drum unit must be replaced.
It seems silly to for a non computer expert person to be expected to learn all this shat just for a simple little thing like getting a paper copy of a billing statement.
Toner has gotten grotesquely expensive for some reason. I, however, am blessed because I have an old HP Black Laserjet 1020, and I can get 5 toner cartridges for $75!! I have had this machine for 12 years, chiefly because I print maybe 5 pages per week, tops. The money I have saved has to be in 4 figures for sure.
True, but printing is one of the most painful parts of computing. My observation only applies to Windows 7 and older operating systems, Windows 10 does include Print to PDF.
Computers are still complicated but they are WAY less complicated than they used to be. You get a lot built in now, anti-virus, remote desktop, video chat, firewall, etc. Back in 1995 on Windows 3.1 none of that was included, and in fact you had to install Winsock manually to get on the Internet at all.
I’ve had the printer default set for quite a while and had a poster not alerted me to the fact that saving to PDF option was available by scrolling through printer options I would have never thought to look there. I will rue the day when this will have to be handled with a smart phone as using them for these purposes is nothing but pure torture.
