Default How long are manufacturers required to support with cartridges?

The title says it all, really.
Today, printers seem to resemble cameras and hi-fi gear, being
"updated" or replaced every few months. As their advertisements all
boast large numbers of pages per cartridge, how realistic is it of me
to suppose that, after some time, a perfectly serviceable printer will
outlast the supply of toner cartridges and thus become junk?
Is there a sort'v legal requirement imposed on manufacturers to
support their hardware with consumables for a minimum time?
TIA.
