    1. Don't print. There's pretty much zero reason to print anything in 2019. If someone (teacher/boss) asks you for printed material, load your document on a brand new tablet, smack them in the head with it, get the screen repaired, and then smack them again with the tablet. The whole ordeal will be cheaper than maintaining a printer.

    2. If you absolutely must print, for example to hang a poster on the wall: Pay to get it printed at a shop. Owning a printer in 2019 makes about as much sense as owning a combine harvester because you like toast.

    Printers add a slight amount of cyan, yellow and magenta to B/W prints in order to make your colors run out faster. They also pay ink like 0.5 cents per cartridge for production and sell it for 15-20 bucks. They basically make money with ink, that's why printers are so cheap. Buy a laser B/W printer it's your best shot nowadays.

    @scarface78987 Also, yellow is needed in color toner printers for the CIA to track you. Some brands refuse to print if yellow is empty.

    funny how we progressed from black and white printers that had no problems printing color documents* to color printers that have problems printing black and white documents

    *yes, of course, they came out black and white, you know what i meant, send color file to b&w printer, no problem.

    @bittersweet WTF. I thought this was a joke, but you just blew my mind. A quote:

    "Developed by Xerox and Canon in the mid-1980s, its existence became public only in 2004."

    That is downright scary.
