yeah for me too it's like useless in the bottom of my desk and just accumulate dust... I think i didn't use it in the past 3 years or so... And everytime i need it, the ink is dry or the printer don't print in good quality (line or dots, no colors or no the good one) so it's mainly served me when i was back to school and for scanning my picture (it's a multifunction lexmark center)

I have a Brother MFC-7840F, which is a B&W laser mulch-fuction printer. If I want to print pictures in color, I just take em to walmart, blacks, costco or some other place like that.

i use a samsung clp-315. i print about 10 prints a month then about 40 prints for 2 of those months
and i havent bought toner for about 2 years!

I have an HP OfficeJet L7780. It is a high-volume office-grade color inkjet. I don't print much, but when I do I print LOADS, and this type of printer allows you to print cheap, cheaper than laser. A complete set of cartridges (CYM at 1200 page estimate capacity, and K at 2400 page) from the company I use comes out to $9 shipped.

I opted for a high-end machine just because I won't be replacing it any time soon. I print invoices, documentation, business cards, etc., but not photos, so updating to the newest gadget for better photos isn't ever a need. Plus it's two tray, so I can load standard paper in the top, legal on the bottom, plus I have my scanning and faxing capabilities. I'm set!

I have a laughably, crappy HP DeskJet 1660. I only use this printer (when I can use it) to print something that I need to print immediately that I can't print at work (LOL). I have used it to fill out RMA paperwork for the many PC components I buy throughout the year, and any other items that require going through snail mail. This printer is so bad that if I send a print job that is a few MBs in size, it will cause the poor devil to lock up during the spooling of the job. It's the printer, and not the computer, because I tested in on multiple ones.
