| 118207 | 2003-02-07 02:02:00 | Billy makes a mental note: Never buy an HP Inkjet! :| Does that apply to HP laser printer cartridges as well? I recently bought an HP1200 and was a bit surprised at how quickly the first toner cartridge ran out. Cheers Billy 8-{) :( |

| 118208 | 2003-02-07 02:07:00 | HP do make good gear. People seem to sucessfully refill their ink cartridges, and the (Canon?) laser drum/toner units. (The laser units are pretty much a commodity now because they are used so widely, and there's lots of price competition). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 118209 | 2003-02-07 02:21:00 | It certainly applies to Brother lasers. I got a Brother 1250 laser and when the cartridge ran out I naturally ordered one with the same number. The agent told me they didn't stock that one as it was only good for 2500 pages at $140, whereas the 5000 page model was only $170. He said that the small cartridges were only really made to keep the printer price down. I have seen a pc mag article recently that said that most printers (inkjet and laser) usually only come with minimal consummables these days. |
