      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.
