I have three of those decade+ old 2040 printers and I refuse to throw them out despite my partner insisting I’m “hoarding.” I love them.

We are on our second 2270DW since probably 2013 but only because we accidentally dropped the first one off a high shelf. I’ve had to replace the toner maybe 3 times across the 2 printers, with the most recent being in late 2020 after the pandemic and online school exponentially increased our at-home printing.

I think the duplexer may be jammed, but since it’s so infrequently used, I can’t be bothered to look up how to fix it. Other than that, I wish it had AirPrint as it would decrease the friction of printing from iPhones and iPads. When (if?) it breaks I’ll replace it with the updated model.
