I love mine, I've had it since the mid 2000's, and I'm still on the toner cartridge that came with the printer.


The CHEAP laser printers tend to be expensive per page, too. Check how much the toner costs and what capacity it has. I bought a Samsung black/white laser printer for about 150 Euros, and the costs per page are only 2 cents. Laser printers of less than 100 Euros often have 4-5 cents per page.
There are a lot of ink printers with high-capacity cartridges for black ink, they are also cheap per page (e.g. a lot of HP models).
