If I had considered a used printer or sold the old one, the break even point would be much lower at the cost of greater risk.

I stayed put. Going through the numbers makes me wish I would have bought wisely in the first place...

Any other experiences?

Get one out of the trash that works. I road my bike/trailer around on large item day until I found one that looked good and took it home. It worked but sadly it needed a $30 part to work well. I chucked it but forgot to save the cartridge for office printer
