Looks like good deal but consider that this holds four separate toner cartridges and replacement for each cost around € 90.

So to replace all cartridges when they will go out will cost € 360 !!!

Also with most printers included cartridges are only 30%-50% full , not sure about this one.

£163.44 inc VAT for the set of 4 samsung toners.

So not too bad. And toners don't get dry as cartridges do, so laser printers are not only for those who print a lot anymore.

In general a laser printer will hold more toner than an inkjet will ink, mind you were not talking about 10k sheet toner carts with these printers either. I think on the whole though they are less hassle than inkjets, less drying ink, less buying a new magenta cartridge even though the rest are 3/4 full etc

I wouldn't go near a Samsung printer if it was free. Have one at work and it has been the biggest heap of junk ever. (but am sure theres ppl out there that will say otherwise). Parts constantly need to be replaced, not just the toners.

Simply buy a new printer - it's cheaper.

I bought a samsung monochrome laser printer for 60 quid including delivery in June 2011. I then bought 3 toners for 99 off ebay and never had a problem with it and still have one of the toners to use.

Usually they only come with reduced sized cartridges if the price of the printer is close to that of toner/ink

I'm surprised they don't just give the printers away for free, the money is in the toner.

I briefly worked in an electronics store on my travels a few years back and printers were just sold at cost, on the premise that the customer would come back for the ink and that's where they made a killing.

I bought similar one for €70+vat in Computer City last month - great printer - I gave up on inkjet years ago - laser printers are much more suited for occasional use users than inkjet (every time I went to use an inkjet nozzle was blocked or out of ink or something).

Havn't had to refil yet - but Ill probably be looking into buying just the bottles of powder and refilling myself when I need to.

Some of the cheaper ones - like one I got - don't have network port - would have been nice to print from lappy without turning on desktop - so watch out for that.

The cameras are another story - I bought that Samsung in the printer advert for a present in december - and had to return it as the lens was too small and indoor photos were too dark and grainy, optical zoomed shots were lacking in detail and the macro would not focus - got Last years model of the Same camera on sale in Argos (cheaper) and it had a larger lens and took much better shots indoors and macro focus gave very impressive results - I can post the details model numbers etc. if anyone wants.
