Perhaps this belongs in tech, but my point is not technical.

Say hello to my new laser printer. It is a LaserJet 1018 by Hewlett Packard. If I take the toner cartridge out of it, the carcus is worth four bucks.

I bought it on sale at Futureshop for only $89.99 before taxes. It comes with a year warranty, and an HP 12A toner cartridge worth $85.99.

Is that incentive to buy consumables instead of upgrading to the next $90 printer?

This is so environmentally wrong it's sickening. But you can help. Take your cartridge(s) to be recycled and buy a recycled toner cartridge from datarite when it comes time.

Insane.
