Well now the toner is getting low and I was looking at a $320 bill to replace all cartridges in the laser. The toner cartridges that came with the printer are a 'starter' set that are half full. Some say you might get up to 1000 pages versus the rated 2000 for a new set of cartridges. I saw the same printer was on sale at my local Staples office supply store for $99.
So, I can either spend $320 on new cartridges and get about 2,000 sheets, or spend $99 and get 1,000 sheets and a backup printer. Now I sit here in my office with two laser printers wondering how something like a colour laser printer is more or less given away so companies get make their money on toner and ink. I guess I answered my own question, but it's still ridiculous and far from being 'green'.
