Future for normies: Renting everything Future for me: Rejecting everything, I will write in cuneiform on clay tablets before I rent a fucking HP printer.

Honestly, more people should probably do that. If you have a low printing volume, you’ll save a lot of money by going to a store to get prints.
Yes, you can argue that you need the convenience of having a printer right there. Just realize you’re spending a lot of extra money for that convenience.

I actually bought an old used Brother printer for $20, and it came with toner and everything already, so since I do not print a lot, my only recurring fee is paper and it is miniscule. And should I need to replace the toner, it is still widely available.

Its a convenience thing, I have one in my office. Some months I do 500-2000…in fact that was one month and why I bought it but after that it has been nothing
