Newegg has a couple Samsung lasers for cheap:

Toner for this one must be made of gold:
Manufacturer Response:
Samsung strives to provide great products at a good value. For the ML-1665 there are two versions of toner. The MLT-D104X ($49.99) prints up to 700 pages and the MLT-D104S ($79.99) prints up to 1,500 pages. Both are available at New Egg.

From what I found Samsung doesn't make a networked, monochrome, duplex'ing printer.

I guess I waited too long on the HL-5370DW. It's not $179.99 at Newegg & Amazon anymore. :cursin:
Time to wait for the price to drop. :idea:

For $180 with free or $1.99 shipping? :bomb:

Well, I'd rather not throw $20 away. I don't need it today and it routinely goes on sale for $180, so I'll wait.So it is $200. If a few bucks makes a difference in your life then printers are not your primary problem.

I've never managed to exhaust a "starter" toner cartridge. I've always decided (independently) to replace the printer before the end.

Well the printer arrived on Tuesday and I got it out of the box today and set up and printing. I do need to get a ream of laser printer paper though.
I have it connected to my network via CAT5e, and it works.

:erm: Yeah, you know the paper you put in a laser printer.

:scratch: Well, as least I know it's not just me.
Maybe on the left coast laser printers print on hopes and dreams, but where I am they need paper in the tray.
Nope, not just you.

I think the confusion was that you specified "laser" printer paper, as though maybe you had several reams of ink-jet paper sitting in your back room, but that just wasn't going to work in this new printer because it's a laser...

Bleh, marketing. Laser and copier paper is interchangeable. You know that.

True and yet ... Photocopiers will usually eat almost anything, but laser printers may get indigestion with really cheap paper. I imagine it's a function of price, i.e. photocopiers tend to cost a lot more than equivalent single-function laser printers.
Also, I wouldn't be comfortable feeding inkjet glossy photo paper through a laser printer, although the other day my daughter achieved surprisingly good results with Epson Matte Heavy Weight - unintentionally.

A friend destroyed his very expensive color laser the other day by feeding glossy photo paper into it; the wax layer melted all over a bunch of rollers.
Southeast needs paper too. Or do you call that right-down coast? :idea:

OUCH
Though it would seem that a roller kit + fuser (maintance kit) might deal with that issue.

Yuck! A while back (1997-8?) my boss' daughter did the same to our color Okidata. Only one sheet and I was able to rescue the printer by printing about 500 blank pages via the straight paper path. Smelled awful for about a week.
What wax? Something in the ink?

Some coating on the paper. It was designed for inkjets. It ended up all over the inside of the printer.

Destroyed the printer and voided the warranty. The thing was only 3 weeks old and he had no choice but to order another one.

Unless the printer is emblazoned with the word "Phaser," it had better not need any "special" paper.

I think you're forgetting about the fanfold using specials that were popular into the mid 90's.

It was cheaper for me to buy a brand new Samsung color laser printer today than it was to get the four toner cartridges my HP1600 needs.

No doubt, but the printer will come with half-size (or worse) cartridges.

I don't like the precedent, really. But it's not like I print all that much, either. A ($45) 1500 sheet cartridge will probably last me a few years. At which time it will probably be cheaper to buy yet another printer.
In contrast, HP wants $80 for a new, 2500 sheet black toner cartridge.

I wonder if the refiller market has starter sized toners. It took me a few years to use up the starter size as well.
