Same I rarely print . Have a brother colour laser these days (they’re quite reasonably priced compared to a few years ago) and the toner isn’t going to go bad through non-use like an inkjet would
Had an HP inlet a while back… the ink dried up and blocked the head. The HP official solution was the head was nonreplaceable and you had to buy a new printer. So I did, but never would I buy HP again.

I’ve actually been printing more at home over the past couple of years than I ever had before. Both as a hobby and for my son’s school stuff. The trick is to buy those after market inks on ebay. I use the Canon PIXMA series and can get 5 packs of all 4 colors for ~$20.00us. I tried the refillable cartridges, but the effort and mess isn’t worth it.
The only thing with the printers is the print heads seem to clog too easily. Need to make sure you’re using it regularly.

We moved to a brother last (b/w) for that exact reason. Run about 8k pages through it I think and it hasn’t once complained to me
