I've been using a company called IJT (Inkjets and Toners) who supply OEM and recycled cartridges/toners for a number of years. I bought 4 recylced toners and was given an OKI B2400 mono laser printer for free. We've had it now for about 3 years and it's used or students' research/essay proofing and has had much use - with no problems at all. The toners, last time I bought some, were about £30 each.
They've always got some sort of 'buy toners, get a free printer' offer going. Might be worth taking a look. www.makingitgreen.co.uk Hope you get sorted.

The problems are two-fold: firstly because inkjets are never good for infrequent use, as the printheads dry up/clog. Secondly because in a moment of madness I bought a Lexmark wireless printer a couple of years ago, which is a terrible piece of trash, with very poor Mac drivers, that falls off the wifi network repeatedly. So I've determined to buy a small laser printer instead, and forego colour in exchange for getting something that can reliably be switched on and print after indefinite periods off; and relocate it to somewhere that it can be wired into the router. Unfortunately, it turns out that there are lots of choices of small cheap mono laser printers these days; even when you narrow it down to those with Ethernet. Brother, Samsung, Dell, Kyocera, Canon and perhaps others all offer something in the < £150 range. Some even have WiFi as well. Does anyone have experience with any of these? Bad experiences as useful as good - eg printers that don't play nice with Mac? Also if anyone has experience with one of these that actually worked properly on WiFi, that would be good, as it would give me more choices about where to put it. All advice gratefully received.
