The 4050 has got type 27x toners that - IIRC - used to be advertised for 20,000 sheets at 5% coverage.
Obviously, if you print out a lot of night sky photos that’s not going to hold up, but I’m on my third toner cartridge across half a century and two degrees. So there is that.
Roller kit I have, and really need to install (paper pick-up is hit or miss these days), and I really do need a new fuser, too. But yes. These things are tanks.

if you wanna be safe, pick up a spare fuser/roller kit when the moment suits. Eventually it’ll need the rollers at the very least.
Yeah I moved from an old canon with a hp5c engine to an 2015 M277 a couple years ago, color, 6000 page duty cycle.
