I would like a reliable b/w printer.am looking to spend around £60. A friend recommended the hp1020 but looks like the toners for the 1020 are almost the same price as the printer itself. Any bright ideas on good feasible laserjets even if its not HP (am biased towards hp) need one asap for my uni assignments...cheers

cheers,
the thing is, printer manufactures make their money off the toner/cartridges, not the printers. also laser printers get many more pages than the average cartridge.
check the number of pages/cartridge and decide....if you use this printer for a couple of years, it will pay for the difference versus a inkjet, with beter quality and pages/min

Well, here's HP's site for that printer. The printer's duty cycle is rated at 500-2000 pages a month which seems about what you're doing. 2000 pages per toner cartridge seems about right (12A gets around 2000 pages) unless you're printing "full" pages and a lot of dark areas. You can expect a little less in that case. Try looking for the darkness adjustment and lighten it up a touch.

Since a laser cart is good for 3000+ pages, unless you print a LOT that cartridge will last you many many many months.

it's true it's expensive but you did you know the toner print about 4000 copy and that's good I think you should buy it it's good one and canon 2900 is very good too .
to me I prefer canon it's powerful and print about 4000 copy too..
