How quickly do you go through ink for printer? How many printers are in your home or business? What do you do with printer cartridges you are done with - used or unused?

We have one printer in our home and I take the empty cartridges to Staples to redeem them for rewards, but this recently crossed my mind when a client had a large surplus of ink and toner after getting rid of an old printer.
