Once a year, she get a replacement cartridge delivered and installed by a local outfit for $40, every year the tech says "this is barely used, it doesn't need replacing". She always replaces, needed or not.
On the other hand if most of what you do is color, do a cost-per-print on color lasers. Prices have come down (yay Moores Law!) so it may be worthwhile for you.

I had to ditch my LaserJet III 10 years ago because I couldn't get toner cartridges for it. (To be fair, I only looked at HP.com and Office Max.) That's why I ended up with that horrible all-in-one.
