Cheap inkjet printers cost as much as a set of ink does. Granted, you get "Starter Cartridges" (What a scam that is!), but many people don't see beyond the initial price. I've known people that buy a printer whenever they run out of ink.
For laser printers, you can use generic toners. For my HP, generics save me $400 per change over the OEM toners, but there really isn't the same option for inkjets.

Stuff like printers, etc - the stuff that doesn't pay to scrap - I fiddle with while kicking back at night...after I sell off the bigger office models I come across, I strip down the home models...not really much of a resale market there, unless they are expensive or brand new ( I get new ones all the time - I guess some folks buy peripherals just to chuck 'em and give me something to do!). boards, wire, motors, all have some value (I have some customers that buy the motors in bulk - I give them a big ziplock bag stuffed with them for $10-$15 bucks - hobby type deal). Hell I pull the ribbon off the ink carts...gonna see how that adds up after a year - there's gold in thar! I figure that while I'm watching the news, or whatever lame TV is on, my hands can strip down all kinds of gear. Also a good time to sort capacitors to get them tantalum beauties, pick off the electronics I like to pull off boards, rip apart hard drives, and all the other stuff that if you figured labor into wouldn't pay...eliminate labor from the equation and all kinds of things become worth it!
