Abstract
Printers are disclosed herein. An example printer includes a housing; a non-refillable toner container permanently affixed within the housing, the toner container having a capacity sufficient to store enough toner to print a first number of pages that corresponds to an expected useful life of the printer; and a processor responsive to an input to enable a second number of pages to be printed by the printer, the second number of pages being less than the first number of pages.
