So, after reading that old laser printer thread which someone bumped up from 2005, I started to think - which make would be best now?
You've got your long-running makersl like HP, Brother, Xerox, Lexmark and Canon, but now you have these newer competitors like Kyocera and (dare I say it) Dell, Oki, Minolta, Samsung...
Who with real world experience of any of the more budget laserjet printers can give advice to someone who's interested in getting one? Just for home use, Uni work printing and things like that. I'm fed up with my **** inkjet, but it's a minefield out there for budget lasers, especially when it comes to things like the cost of new carts and drums (yes, I know you can get refill kits and suchlike). I guess a question which is just as important as 'what's the initial outlay' is 'what's the total failure-free operating life of xyz brand laserjet like?, factoring in the cost of replacement supplies?'
Anyone have any suggestions? I checked out the other cheapo laser printer thread, but it went a bit offtopic, talking about toner replacements and all that.
