As a former tech associate at Staples; I can easily attest to how annoyed my bosses were that I always pushed people to buy laser printers.
Their reasoning was simple; the bosses hated the volume at which we sold toner; and literally nothing else...once I had paired all of their problem customers with drama-free laser printers that would stay in operation for at least 5 years.
Nobody who bothered to ask my professional opinion on printers and actually took it seriously bought anything but a Laser Printer. Many of the shitty DRM riddled Inkjets actually collected dust on those shelves unless they were sold by someone more clueless than I.
