<p>Wanted: cheap, durable, cheap, black/white, cheap, somewhat portable, cheap laser printer for dorm room</p>
<p>Suggestions?</p>
<p>toner costs so much that buying a laser printer for price is not worth it. if you get a decent inkjet printer, it'll be just as fast, print color, and the ink will cost less.</p>
<p>Wrong hoogli, laser printers cost less per print than inkjets, which is why most companies use laser printers. Toner costs more, but you get many more prints per cartridge than a ink jet cartridge. Sure, the start up costs are higher, but you save money as soon as an inkjet cartridge needs replacing.</p>
<p>yea, so does any1 have a laser printer they like...that was cheap?</p>
<p>you can get the lowest model Brother or HP laser printer for just around $100. Both are solid monochrome laser printers that should serve you just fine. I use a REALLY old HP laser printer at work and it still runs like a charm; it was built like a tank.</p>
<p>HP LaserJet 1022--works great, fast, toner lasts 4K-5K pages.</p>
<p>HP Printers are very good, but I have a Brother HL 2040 and would highly recommend it.</p>
<p>I ended up getting the hp 1020; it was under $100 with toner, and i'd recommend it to everyone.</p>
<p>Brother 2040 is amazing.</p>
<p>Cheap - Its about 60. Toner was 40 dollars.</p>
<p>Toner also prints out .. get this, 2500 pages. (you could print out 2500 pages full of ink too)</p>
<p>Another vote for Brother. I have one of their multi-function laser printers for my home office, and have used it daily for several years without any problems.</p>
<p>I have an HP laser jet 3015 that I have used for 2 years and it works great. The print quality is great and the first page out time is really short. The device has an ADF (automatic document feeder( for scanning to a PC, or using as a copier. It also comes with a Fax. The print cartridge is a 2000 page cartridge and you can find it for about $65.</p>
<p>Amazon.com:</a> Samsung ML-2010 Mono Laser Printer: Electronics</p>
<p>This seems to be the successor to the model I have.</p>
<p>I have an HP officejet I believe it is 6210. It is an all-in one scanner, coppier, fax machine, and printer. I believe I got it on sale for $179 and I've had it for about 18months and have not had to change the ink yet. Highly reccomend it. </p>
<p>P.S: Something to think about, if you buy a copier/scanner, make sure you get one with a top load tray and not just the flat bed. My dad bought the latter and when he has to copy or scan papers he has to do them one-by-one. BIG pain in the ass.</p>
