As reported by The Reg, HP chief financial officer Marie Myers was talking to investors at the UBS Global Technology conference about the tech giant's subscription model.
I don’t know how many people print a great deal any more.
Also, many years back, at a time when I printed more, I switched to a black-and-white laser printer when I realized that I only ever printed black-and-white documents, and the consumables cost was significantly lower. They don’t clog up the way inkjets do, and the toner cartridges last for ages. And color lasers are pretty cheap these days too. They won’t print photos as prettily as inkjets will, but they’ll get the job done for most documents.
If you’re printing photos, okay, get yourself an inkjet, but I suspect that for most people, a laser printer is fine.
One quirk: laser printers do tend to briefly draw a lot of power when they first come on, which inkjets do not. If you’re running it on some kind of inverter, that might matter to you.
I wouldn’t have even thought to consider the possibility that my local meth cook would have a better photo printer then the local pharamcy, but i’ll stop by later and ask him. Well, as long as he’s taken down the tinfoil from the windows. If the foils up, then it’s a pretty safe bet he’s been up for at least 3 days straight.
Ages ago when I was in college, I had a little Brother laser printer. It was more than enough, as I was only printing B&W documents. It was wireless and you could easily get a few thousand pages per toner cartridge. Hell it even did duplex via a special duplex tray on the front. I loved that little thing, and eventually gave it away when I graduated as I basically stopped using it. If I ever find myself in a situation where I need to buy a printer, Brother is the only brand on my list.
Also, the lights would flicker whenever I fired it up, lol! that baby drew a lot of power.

If you’re printing photos you can use a photo service.
Unless they’re those kind of photos
In the U.K. you can basically just nip into your local chemist and use their printer for like £0.50,

Thanks for the tip!

Yea,
We mainly print stuff for D&D, and documents. Got a cheap laser printer. Printed thousands of sheets, on our second toaner.
When we need pictures printed, we just go to the local print shop and get them for $0.50 each.
