Trying to decide between them, i thought i may go for a cheap laser printer.

I like the speed and don't need to go to mad.

here are a couple, any ideas would be good as i don't want to have to get another one in the near future.

Personally I always go for a laser as first choice unless specific needs dictate otherwise. And I like Samsung for "cheap & cheerful value".

Just helped someone choose and they got a Samsung CLP-300. It includes a "starter" toner kit. Works as advertised.

Don't know if they are still doing it but Dabs ( www.dabs.com now owned by BT) were selling these plus a refill kit for a very good bundled price.

Edit - yup, just over

I got the Cannon LBP3360 as it prints both sides automaticly (check this feature as most only do it manually) and it is a full network printer meaning it can be plugged into your router and shared between all on the network.

I gave up wanting to print colour images long ago due to the ammount of printers I simply had to throw away and the cost of ink.

I take my photos to Tesco for printing, seems to work out cheaper that way.

Nice printer the Canon, but as you point out it's monochrome. And I agree, you probably don't need colour.

Personally I have a monochrome laser too, also gave up on colour printing at home.

For business I use preprinted colour (e.g. letterheads) or get it done professionally at a print shop.

For domestic stuff (mostly digital photos) I upload online and it comes back by post.

i use a samsung CLP500 bought 18 months back, mainly selected on price withthe duplex printing, i print off manuals for phone systems (massive tombs). has colour now been superseded by the 510 (i think), most annoying factor is the wait to 1st page out from a cold start but once rolling prints fine. inks are

what ever printer you buy, check out the replacement ink prices as some are extraordinarily expensive

In particular you need to watch for "all-in-one" cartridges of ink and drum/fuser on colour machines (it's quite common and not too expensive on monochrome).

didnt they ban you after the last set ? poor lady is still in therepy
