It drives me nuts that we don't have a printer/toner database with cost per page.

Back in the bad old days, when I had an ink jet in college, cost per printed page was easily in the dollars possibly even as high as fives of dollars per page.

Later in college, I bought a used laserjet from the university surplus sale for $20. That little printer got me through several reams of paper before the toner went out. By that point I was in the pages per penny range.

I believe a lot of commercial contracts for printers (Canon, Xerox, etc.) can be priced this way.
