    Remember to include the price of a new toner cartridge when looking for a cheap laser printer. Some become quite expensive when you include it.

      When I bought a small office laser printer for making stickers it took me four years before I needed to change the cartridges. It only came with those partially full ones too. Unless you’re printing dozens of full color sheets a day the cost of cartridges is likely a minimal consoderation

        I once bought a Xerox for very cheap for office work. Buying a brand new Brother was cheaper than buying toner for it.

      You could if you want. But then again, remember that most people will be replacing that toner cartridge only once every 2-5 years. So it’s not like a major expense.

      It depends on how much you print of course, like if you’re a teacher or something, you might print a lot.
