Servicing Older Printers

If you are maintaining an older, out-of-warranty printer, you may request repairs (such as fuser kit replacement) through any of the approved vendors listed above.

Inkjet printers are not supported due to their high cost per page and limited serviceability.

Why We Don’t Support Inkjets

• Cost per page – Inkjet printing often runs $0.25–$1.00 per page, while approved laser printers average under $0.05 per page.

• Idle problems – Ink cartridges dry out quickly when not used, leading to frequent replacement.

• Service limitations – Most inkjet models cannot be repaired affordably.

• Reliability – Laser printers are better suited for 300+ pages per month and can sit idle without issues.

• Sustainability – Laser cartridges are recyclable; inkjet cartridges are generally disposable.
  
  

Support Policy

• IT Services provides support only for approved printers.
  
  

• Unauthorized printers are not permitted on the OKCPS network (wired or wireless).
  
  

• Wireless printing is not supported on any printers in the district.
