consumables for printers?

[anesh16]

i would like to know what does consumables mean.in my country 'Trinidad' ,consumables include the paper used to print , but according to the book that CompTIA recommended to study to do the A+ certification exam , the consumables meant it was the toner and ink cartridges.so any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks.

Consumables definately means includes toner and ink cartridges. That is the correct answer for the A+ exam. As evidence, just look at the fact that HP sells their printers at a loss and considers them "ink consumption devices".

LOL. Sad but true.

At one point HP was suing recycled ink cartridge manufacturers/sellers 'cause they were cutting into HP's market share. They lost.

Paper is a consumable too, so is Ink & toner.

Its been awhile since ive read my A+ exam books (most of that stuff you only ever need for the test), but my advice would be to follow whatever the book tells you. They usually are based on the official material and seldom steer you wrong.
