796974 2009-07-31 23:22:00 Looking at getting a budget B+W laser printer. Am currently looking at the Brother 2140. Any pats on the back for this machine out there or recommendations for a better machine in $200 ish price range,

thanks

796975 2009-07-31 23:34:00 I'm not sure what the current price of it is, but I highly recommend the Canon LBP3300. The toner is dirt cheap (for compatible toners, rather than genuine), and it does auto-duplexing - something you don't see in most printers within its price range.

I've had mine for a couple of years now, and printed close to 9500 pages on it. I bought my 3rd toner cartridge at the start of this year.

796976 2009-07-31 23:45:00 I think in the past I have seen $99 b/w laser printers as new.
$400-600 could get a color one?

I find that these days I get genuine toners only they last a long time and the the shade is better and sharper.

796977 2009-08-01 01:55:00 I have the Brother 2140 and it hums along quite nicely. Good quality for the mono prints I want.

I got it from Delwyn at Digital Shop - look on PriceSpy for the contact details - about $160ish. Unfortunately you just missed the $50 cashback that ended yesterday - unless you can talk them into dating your invoice 31/07/09!!!

796980 2009-08-01 06:40:00 Walk around some stores, I think I was in Harvey in Porirua and they had a maybe demo printer on the table for $99 at one time.

Warehouse Stationery also have good deals at times.
