    Amen I bought a used one from work for £20 8 years ago with a bunch of spare toners and I still haven’t used any of the toners. Do they actually go off?

        Or they may be good for one print, depending on how frequently the printer is used.

        Install a new cartridge, print one page, wait a year before trying to print again and you’ll need a new cartridge.

        It’s a no-brainer why they practically give those things away.

          You’re talking about an ink jet. I’m talking about a laser printer. The toner doesn’t dry out, it’s already dry. Our toner lasted us like 8 years before we had to replace it.

            Indeed, I was. I’d lost the plot, thought the commenter above you had bought an inkjet. Thanks for the clarification.
