For some of us, that is a short period of time for a toner cartridge. The
ones for my printer are supposed to last about 5000 pages, and even though I
print more than the common bear, I still don't print that much in a year.

That said, I've been keeping my eyes open for a new printer because mine has
become unreliable and I tire of getting it fixed all the time. I've gotten m
any good years of service from this printer which was rescued from the trash.

My next printer is either going to be an HP or have a Canon print engine for
the sake of making parts easier to come by.  But, I don't really have the
money to do anything more than look for amazing steals at this time.
