Anyone got one or can suggest/recommend one? I can no longer get toner for my current laser printer, as soon as she runs out, destined for the bin. Such a shame, has been and still is a fantastic printer. :(

I'm after a good one with toner cartridges lasting a while and not outrageously priced to replace.

Any help is appreciated.

We have a LaserJet 2600n, quite cheap and works well - it's huge though.

I've got a Dell 3110cn and that came with full-size cartridges. I choose it for speed and price - watch the speed on the 'small-business' HPs as they are quite slow.

Printers nowadays are getting bigger and bigger. i just bought a new one, it has to sit on the floor under my desk (thankfully the desk is huge too) it takes up far to much desktop space. I found myself in theshop initially discounting al lthe huge printers, until I eliminated everything but the smallest photo printer, then came to my senses and bought almost the biggest one there, based on features, value, ink costs etc etc

We have a QMS 3100 (now obsolete) and a QMS 5450 ... both are single pass with the 5450 also duplexing. The quality from the 5450 is stunning (better now it is networked and not USB connection)

we brought a cheap brother laser that worked well and only cost £75 inc vat with toner cartridges about £40 it was a great deal untill the drum stopped it working at 12000 copies but still producing great work up till them, new drum was £60 so we just brought another whole syatem instead, but feel very guilty of just throwing away a perfect printer for such a stupid reason as someone deciding 12000 pages is enough and we will charge so much for a replacement part to make our money back

It does the job. It's fast for a SOHO printer (I was used to an old Laserjet 4). I'm not a high volume user so I don't know about volumes. I use it to print stickers as well as plain A4. I put the cheapest possible paper through it and I've never had a jam. Haven't tried envelopes.

Have a look at Lexmark as we have had one for 5 months, print quality is fabulous, either connects on to network or USB, very fast, and they were doing some nice cash back deals, think the machine cost us about £350 and it does the job nicely for us

Hewlet Packard Colour Laserjet 1600 Printer @ £99.00 plus VAT

Reliable make - have not tried this one but my old Laserjet has worked faultlessly for many years.
