Fantastic description Bruce, printers are I believe the first AI creatures with full life circle, and unfortunately your printer life is about to end.
On a serious note, I print a lot on a daily basis and have experienced different types and brands of printers. Like Doodle, my good memories are with HP 4L which was loud, slow (something like 4 bw pages per min I think) but we ran many thousands prints out of it and changed it only because of unsupported drivers for new Windows systems. The worst one we had at home was some Kodak inkjet printer which I think didn't last longer than 3 months, utter crap.
Current one I have for last three months is Epson ET-2500 and it is surprisingly good and so far reliable. After nearly 2700 paper feeds it is still running smooth and strong. It uses Epson bottled refill ink which is not so expensive, even it's genuine and is DIY-able.
