I'm in my late 40s and I remember the joy of printing out banners with Print Shop on a Commodore 64 using a dot matrix printer. It was fantastic but it's been pretty downhill since there. Video to show what I mean:
In the modern era, I've just bought a cheap Brother black and white laser printer and called it a day. The toner lasts F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
> The toner lasts F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
Now you know why the manufacturer wants to change things.
They shouldn't. Just make a good product and ask a price for both printer and toner that properly covers costs and allows you to turn a profit.
And then get driven into the ground in a market that competes on up front cost pretty much exclusively.
