State of confusion
Before you buy, determine how much refill toner cartridges cost. Some of them are an arm and a leg.

Thank you . . .

for your responses and advice. My previous true-and-trusted workhorse HP 5L provided an excellent experience so I have always leaned towards HP. But, I will have a look at the Samsung cheapie.

Samsung isn't bad

I have in past used a Samsung ML-1750, it was compatible with Linux, Mac, and Windows. Some of the printer (Laser) required you to replace the drum and toner separately which was pricey. The ML-1750 was about a 100 bucks for the cartridge and it was a all-in-one unit (drum and toner in one package).

Any variant of that line will likely be pretty reliable and not very expensive to buy or refill.

Cheers,

C

Cruising in my RV
HP 5L was a good printer, they knew how to make'um back then. Now, it doesn't really matter which printer you buy; all the new consumer printers are made cheaply even the newer HPs. Cartridges are usually in $75 and up range and sometimes it makes you go hmmmm, why get a new cartridge when i can get a new printer for the same price then recycle the used one. Thou the starter cartridges has 50-75% toner levels and thats where companies make the money in selling you toner cartridges with cheap printers. Goodluck
