Hi, I'm thinking about buying a new printer but I'm not sure if there are cheap laser pinters.

I want to print wirelessly, mainly back ink will be used.

I was thinking about HP because they are in the business for a long time and I tend to trust manufacturers who have experience.

Any suggestions folks?

they exist but you have to pay out the nose for toner.

toner is expensive as a one time payment but depending on the printer can be much cheaper than inkjet technology in the long run.

I'm happy with my Brother laser printer. I bought the less expensive non-networked black-and-white one.

I've had good luck with Dells and HPs. The HP P1606dn is less then $150 and it automatically duplexes.

wow electronics are quite a lot more expensive here in denmark i would have to pay around 220$ for the 1606,

we use 2 of those at the office where i work and they are fast, quiet, with an amazing feature set for the price.
i would reccomend them to anyone.
