The library Kyocera printer was purchased in May 2011 for about $2500. This was a big investment for CCGS and we hoped it would last a few years. It has done that. We have had to spend a little over $300 for maintenance, but even with that and including the printer cost and toner the average cost per page printed is around 2 cents.
Our average print volume over the printer lifetime is nearly 100 copies per day. Recently the volume is more like 50 per day.
The printer does have its quirks. It goes into such a deep sleep that you have to turn the power off and back on to wake it up. The printer makes some loud, scary noises if the paper tray is not fully inserted. It gives a nonsensical error message when it is just out of paper. There are probably others that I don't hear about.
I'd like to hear about them. I left a sheet near the printer for you to write your comments about printer problems. After collecting some data we can decide whether to replace the printer.
