Best printer for basic black printing?

Been out of the loop on printers. The whole inkjets vs laser jets.

I hated that when u buy a inkjet, the cartridges are more than the printer.

So been needing to print occasional stuff like online receipts etc...

Is there a decent non colour ( color can be had but not required )
Printer that has a low cost of ownership ?

This, or any HP printer that goes on sale for cheap.

The refills are cheaper on the HP, buy on eBay for $15-20 a toner cartridge.

HP P1606DN is a great duplex laser. Very fast and reliable.

The Samsung ML-1665, or whatever is the current model, is a great little printer. I bought one for my parents, and they have no issues.

Samsung OEM toner is $70 or so. I bought the toner from etoner.ca for $40, and it works well.

Really, any laser printer is fine if you're a normal user. If you're churning out pages like crazy (hundreds a week), you'll obviously want something beefier with a larger toner cartridge.

Check out Brother printers. They are great printers for the price, and toner/drum is really cheap (123inkcartridges.ca).

I scooped up an HP all in one during boxing week for 30 bucks at futureshop. They might still be on sale, worth checking out. I had old HP that I used to refill ink for 10 bucks down the street from my house so this was a steal for me.

Cheap printer and Ink doesn't always equate a lot of yield. The toner maybe cheap but the yield might be low. In the end the toner to yeild ratio might cost more than a more expensive toner.

this. Got our laser printer for free from a friend. It was old and big but we print maybe like less than 5pages per year? Ink jet just suck. Everytime we want to print something we have to buy new cartiage since the old one dried up......

Funny store I was at Future shop I think on Dec 27. There was this ink jet printer on sales for 29.99 and some sales person was telling this customer to buy it coz is really cheap. I just laugh and ask the sales person how much are the ink cartiage or the re-fill cost? He didn't like that too much lol. So I SHOW the guy how much the ink cost, and he just left the store.

+1 on the ML series if you need a basic one. I have seen it for 40$ and 20$ when on sale locally. Toner for it will cost as much as the printer though.
