was that so hard?



ETA laser ALL THE WAY. unless you print alot injets clog and suck. IF you print alot you can't afford the ink. Should be called Failjet.



I have had the same HP laser for well over 10 years and only changed the toner once.

Uhhh... they are both ink.


OP, I'll chime in and add another vote for not going with an inkjet. Laser is worth it... if you don't need color it's even pretty cheap.

And I will add another vote for laser. I had inkjet and if I didn't print every week, the ink got clogged and I had to to replace the cartridge. This was usually on a new cartridge as I only printed every once in a while. The only reason I kept mine so long was I got the ink for free.

I was fed up with ink going dry or not lasting very long, hell, the ink is just as expensive as the printer itself, anyway, I bought a Samsung Color Laser CLX-3175FN, reconditioned for less that $200.  That was over 2 years ago and I finally bought toner for it.  If it were me, I'd get the Brother Laser Printer above since you don't need color.

I just got a color laser(led) printer from SAMs Club for $119, it is the Dell 1250c

It works real well, and for the cost, a pretty good deal.
