I replaced the starter toner supplied with a generic type about 3 years ago - still going. Connected via USB to Mac and Windows machines, quite noisy when it's printing, and a very high standby electricity consumption (20W IIRC). All of that said, I now tend to just take a photo with my phone and keep the electronic copy. -- Cheers, Rob |

Images of cleared checks can be downloaded from the bank they're drawn on. Just keep the digital files, as catalpa suggests. No reason to waste all the paper and ink/toner unless an issue arises. |

Best information yet from both you and catalpa. He'll probably will never need the paper copy but he'll have it just in case. |

Any good all-in-one scanner will have PDF software included, so you can "print" directly to PDF without using paper. If not, you can download PDF Creator from pdfforge.org. It is free (decline the add-ons), and installs as a printer driver, so you can 'print' to PDF anything you can print to paper. |

I've had the cheapest Brother laser printer since 2009 and it's worked flawlessly. Toner carts are ~$12 (ebay) and I just put in the second full one. I would assume that their cheap 3-in-one would be just as reliable. Save your own copies (files or paper) of things that might be important to you in ten years -- you probably can't download bills etc. for more than a few years. -- Cheers, Bev "If you're crazy, you better find a way to make money off it.

It also was a more expensive one (but still <$200 7 years ago), because I need the automatic duplexing. I've used 2 toner carts in 7 years. |

Apparently the new cheapest ones are wireless and do auto duplexing. Brother also gives you a linux driver! So does Samsung, but Canon refuses to provide linux assistance for any of its products. I have a nice Canon scanner, but I was really annoyed to find out that I HAD to use windows; SANE provides some support, but not enough. -- Cheers, Bev "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." -- Elbert Hubbard, American author |

I am so unprepared but I never thought this day would come. What do I do? Is $80-100,000 too low to reap enough dividends to pay my basic monthly living expenses of under $1000? |
