"And the LCD screens on these printers tend to be small and hard to navigate." Why would you need to navigate an LCD screen on a black and white laser printer?

"And the LCD screens on these printers tend to be small and hard to navigate."
Why would you need to navigate an LCD screen on a black and white laser printer? Most low end lasers don't even have an LCD. You use the included utility on your computer which tells you everything you need to know about toner level, pages printed, ECO mode, etc.
