I did something similiar, I named all the printers with an esoteric naming scheme based on the OU and location, but completely indecipherable, and GPO reset the default printer every morning. That way the print was always released to a random printer that the user chose in utter bewilderment and confusion, so there was no chance any particular printer would see enough use that I’d have to change the toner in this decade.
imho, the new printers are pretty good. Like ever since the companies stopped the inkjet fiasco and switched over to the inktank thing, its been really smooth.
My experience with the Epson ecotank is pretty good.

Worked great.
Lawful good solution and chaotic good solution
Welcome to the world of business printing done right. A rare sight these days.
Software like papercut is the best.

HP is still the worst, though.
Yeah, even their inktanks are unusable.
The only difference between HP and a 1930’s Italian mob protection racket is they don’t break your kneecaps yet
That guy is too smart, he’d better he careful. He’ll be found dead at his desk after mysteriously choking on an HP cyan cartridge.
They wouldn’t be so obvious.
They would just slowly replace all his blood with HP 952XL Magenta
That’s an expensive way to kill someone. It’d probably be cheaper to pay for a hitman at the point.
It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message.
