might be a bit off here, but I'm sure some of you have experiences with
laser printers. I would like to buy a (relatively) cheap laser printer with
the following requirements:
- quality (I mean here, that I want to use it for a long time, thus it
should be of good quality and be robust)
- has such a toner, *that can be refilled cheaply*
- prints in good quality, speed and noise is not that important
- should work under FreeBSD / Linux, not just under Windows
As for the price, I'm thinking of 100 000 HUF (about 400 EUR) as *very*
maximum. The price is important, but the first point is more important at
all...I color laser printer would be cool if this amount of money is
sufficient for this, but a BW one is ok, too.
My suggestion would be a used HP LaserJet 4050, preferably with a JetDirect
network interface. I've used them as network printers for FreeBSD with
excellent results, they're built well and cheap to run. Have not tried toner
refilling, though.
You could probably buy a color laser with mostly-empty "starter" toner at
this price, but replacing supplies could cost as much or more than the
printer.
I just purchased a Brother-2070N that works fine. $130.oo from
Costco with a 1500 page toner cartdridge. It has a network
interface built in too.

Shit... it's $40.oo cheaper this week than it was two weeks ago when
I bought mine!
