Usually the specs don't say how long the printer will last.  The usually 
say how many pages between roller replacement and the such.  I am sure 
for most of the info, you need to look pretty hard at the specs in the 
box.  Maybe they will have them online.  I believe that HP does a pretty 
good job of this.  At least on their business level printers.

I have a client that runs some much paper and has so many printers of 
the same type, they just have the replacement kits waiting on a shelf. 
Usually about once a month one of them comes up for replacement.

Those replacement kits are pretty much like brakes.  You replace the 
stuff that usually wears out.
