I bought a Canon Scanner / Colour Laser Printer just under three years ago in the black friday sale for £200. I still have 90% remaining on the colour toners and 70% remaining on the black toner. I guess when the black toner runs out in 7 years time, I'll replace the printer; or possibly before then if drivers become an issue. My 14 y/o Canon IP8500 photo printer is still working fine and just as good/fast as a modern photo printer. The only problems are the fact that i/o is a choice between USB1 & USB2, and it takes a bit of prodding to get Windows 10 and Server 2019 to install XP 64bit drivers. But it works.
