Ah, going off topic a bit, but the principal is I believe the same.

I've got a couple of Kubota tractors.  Fine machines, have served me 
well.  But, oh, how I wish I had checked out the pricing of replacement 
parts before I purchased the tractors.  They are totally disgusting.

Similarly, with printers, I've had occasion to soundly cuss out some 
vendors in the past.  Now, before purchasing, I contact customer support 
to see what it's like.  Cost of toner and drums and such.  Those that 
want a credit card # before talking to one are not considered.  As a 
plug, I have found Brother to be rather helpful.

So, yeah, some up front testing can avoid many issues later on. 
Sometimes referred to as TCO (total cost of ownership).
