Mine is a cartridge model, an XP-830 “Small-in-One” that gets used…maybe once a year. As I said I’m not throwing it away yet. Further info: I bought a tablet computer specifically so that I wouldn’t have to print out my drawings for use in the wood shop, because I want to stop printing things entirely.
Something I always enjoy during the TOS era movies is when they pull out actual paper. Like during Wrath of Kahn IIRC they pull out a physical paper book that has Reliant’s SSH codes to disable the shields. Another happens during Undiscovered Country when they need to actually speak Klingon, they get out a bunch of paper books. The Federation has a printing office.
As far as I know, the tank models are just as bad. They need to flush the system, which they do onto a sponge which when saturated means the printer is broken.
My gripe with inkjets, expensive / DRM’d cartridges aside, is the ink just dries up or gets used in maintenance cycles whether you print or not.
Or is yours one of the tank models? I think those are less inefficient in that regard, right?

Ah, the star trek method
