We have an HP bw laserjet at home with PostScript and crucially a duplexer. I bought it used about 10 years ago for £200. We don’t print much, around 15,000pp so far. Generally I print: - in the last month, a lot of past papers as my son prepares for Summer exams - PDF articles for reading on the train - multiple drafts of documents I write to scribble edits on ( could I do that on the iPad? Sort of.) - address labels - bookplates - online recipes ( easier with messy fingers than the iPad!)

I’d guess we print something every week, sometimes more frequently. Printing 2-up duplex for the most part has saved a lot of paper. Replaced the toner for the second time in feb ‘22 ( the printer tells me) - with an off brand cartridge; print quality noticeably but not disastrously worse, but the cartridge was £30 rather than £130. Amazon Basics 80gsm paper better and cheaper than the HP or Canon versions.
