    This printer was paid for by my employer in 2017. I would have never spent 250€ on a printer. And I often did not use it because it had run out of ink and I was too lazy or occupied to take the 5 minutes to order it. So now this is taken care of.

    It is also the best printer I have ever had and the longest living. But it is also the first one that cost more than 50€ so the reason might lie there.

      I had printers with 5 milion prints. It was old hp 506 (50X series for sure). We bought 60 of them. 5 years on and i think 3 or 4 broke down? We weren’t even using genuine ink either.

      They costed £230 +£30 for 5 year warranty.
