Varies dramatically based on the type and size of cartridge. I have a laser printer with massive toner cartidges that I’ve changed once in 20 years. Many thousands of pages for it. But I’ve had inkjets that seemed to run out every 5 seconds.

Operation unKAOS Everything is going well.
also, how many pages are printer cartridges meant to do, because I think mine ran out after about 50, that doesn’t seem much

yeah, these cheap little multi use printers sure do eat up the ink. They are pitas. I like the idea of a bigger higher quality printer, especially if I am going to use it a lot.

I got a little laser printer about 5 years ago when I had a need to do more printing. Brilliant. Quicker, toner lasts for ages, print quality is nicer. I don’t have much need for it these days but I’m never going back to inkjet.

Printers and printer cartridges are one of the biggest rorts, it’s crazy how much they can charge for so little.
Glad to hear Operation unKAOS is going well!
