It would be unusual for me. I don't intend to retire my Laserjet 5 as long as it has breath left in it's chassis.
But it SHOULD be unacceptable for everyone. Bad enough we're compelled to dispose of cell phones every few years, we don't need printers joining in the disposable mindset.
We're supposed to me moving toward open standards, one of the benefits being long-term reusability. Remember winmodems? I don't miss that idea.
