Is it worth repairing an printer?
Is it worth fixing a printer? As much as you may love your printer fixing a printer almost always will cost more than than buying a new printer. It may be worth bringing it in the store for a free assessment, but sinking money into printer repairs is not recommended. Although replacing consumable parts like drums and imaging units are certainly worth replacing.

Printer types
What are the two main types of printers?
The most common types of printers you find on the market are inkjet printers and laser printers. Inkjet printers use a liquid ink which is sprayed on the paper to produce prints and laser printers use a a fine powder that melts onto the paper to produce prints. Inkjet printers are commonly sold for home use mainly due to their low purchase cost. Laser printers are more frequently purchased by businesses since their cartridge capacity is usually much larger. Both types of printers can be used in either environment.

LOW
The message TONER LOW or INK LOW appears on the printer display or computer monitor when one of the toner or ink cartridges is estimated to be running low, but the cartridge has not probably not reached the end of it's life. This is an alert the toner or ink cartridge will reach its end of life in the near future. It's always a good idea to have a back up cartridge ready to replace since many printers will lock you out from printing when an empty message appears.
