Re: New printer: Samsung ML-1610 or HPP1005
I won't tell you which one is better. I will tell you that I purchased a Samsung M-1710 about 18 months ago. Nice little printer if I could only find toner for the thing. I have to go to remanufactured cartriges, which I don't like to do. |

Iron Mountain, MI | Hi TAO,
Do a search on eBay. I usually get three bottles of toner for a $20.00 shipped. Or Sometimes I find new cartridges for about $40.00.

Lansing, MI | I am just not going to mess with that. I have done it before on a job and discovered that getting toner on your clothes results in learning this lesson: nothing will remove toner that will not remove what is it stuck to. |

Lansing, MI | Well, there is an excuse for my quirks -- breathing in too much toner dust.
Thank you! |

Hi,
Actually, so is just breathing...:D
Refilling toner is really not that bad. The refill kits come with gloves and a funnel. And of course some of the NEWER cartridges have chip now that have to reset or replaced. It is still far cheaper to learn to refill them then to buy a new one.
My refilled cartrideges last twice as long as the new ones do.

| Again, I am not really knocking re-filling your own carts, I never blame anyone for saving a buck.
But, at a range of 1.2 to 4 cents a page (and the 4 cents is at the absolute high end) for B&W laser printing, unless you are printing reams of stuff, it just is not that large an expense. My toner carts are rated at approx. 3,000 pages, and that lasts me well over 2 years!
In my case, the laser will likely be "retired" before I go through a drum!
