    Hi all,
    As above, I probably only print 20 pages a month and scan even less, so looking for a basic printer with the following:

    B&W Laser
    Scanner Feeder (for multiple pages)
    Ethernet

    That's it really.... it's all text and print-per-minute is not an issue.

    Looking for something where toner won't cost the earth, if possible. Happy to spend a few extra € on a reliable brand.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    I bought a Brother DCP1610W from Argos a year or so ago, it is an AIO and has a big print cartridge that lasts for a lot of pages I think its 1000+
    It scans in colour but only prints in B+W and is WiFi linked as well.
    I would highly recommend it.

    Thanks. Didn't spot any of that model on argos.ie but they do have a Brother MFC-L2710DW

    Only other option I forgot to mention is I print envelopes... I'll check if the Brother I quoted above can print envelopes.

    I bought a similar Brother printer - only got about 400 pages before it said was out of toner- there is a button combination you do and it resets the counter...

    Printed now about another 2500 pages since!
    Never changed ink - just had take out and shake them once - Odd - but not complaining!

    “Roll it back”

    Got the model no?

    I'm reading reviews about Brothers not liking aftermarket toner, albeit a small number of negative reviews.

    I have customers with basic home-office Brothers and never heard them complain, to be fair.

    I do NOT need WiFi, which seems to bring the price down.

    I used aftermarket toner from 123ink and no problem at all.
