If you want to print something once a month you can buy a cheap printer for like €40 – which is probably subsidized because the manufacturer thinks they will earn it back on selling you overpriced ink. But they won't since you will buy a single toner and cover all of your printing needs.
Anyway, I don't have a printer. I always just take my pdf and take a walk to a local printing service.
As long as it's not an inkjet printer, since the ink will dry out or the printer will just think the ink is too old after half a year or so.
Yes! This was my plan too but I made the mistake of buying an Epson that is always “low on ink” and a PITA about third party cartridges.
And the ink will have cost you £41.
Maximise the waste and minimise the cost, yay !
What?
Buying a whole ass printer to dump it when the initial ink/toner is gone might be economically viable it isn't ecologically viable
