Can’t confirm, my 12 yo HP LJ still spits out pages as expected, and doesn’t even complain about the aftermarket toner carts I use.

I would say I miss when printers were good, but they never were… Just less awful than they are now.

Edit: totally forgot, the printer was single sided for the first 10 years I had it, and I have no idea why (other than windows windows-ing) it suddenly started printing duplex after I migrated to Linux!
