          There’s no problems with it, I’ve had it for like 8 years. I ran out of toner last year and replaced the cartridge for like $40.

              It’s in the spirit of never printing anything for the rest of your life, like how thread OP meant. The printer seems to be highly recommended, but you’d still be spending money on printing.
