Need a new laserjet printer

I currently have a HP 1020 which is a lovely little laserjet and has been fine although it is not supported with Macs so we have the odd problem printing, however I now need a new one (as H taking the laserjet on the road as it will work brilliant with his Windows laptop)

So i need one that it compatible with a Mac and one where the cartirgdes don't cost an arm and a leg, I usually use 1 laserjet cartridge per month and at £60 or £30 for non originals its quite expensive.

I also need to be able to print quite quickly so no slow coach printers please...

Ive heard good things about Brother??

ANy recommendations?

    Does it have to be a Laserjet ?
    If you only need black and white the Samsung ML-2240 Laser Printer is very good value and very reasonably priced, about £50 from eBuyer when I bought mine.

    That Samsung ML-2240 appears to use toners costing £45 for just 1500 pages:eek:

    Those running costs will probably be worse than the HP 1020.
    More economical printers will cost more to buy but if you print enough you'll eventually realise the savings in the long run. You could spend a huge amount on a super-economical printer buy you need to strike the right balance. The HP P2055 isn't too expensive and has the option of high capacity toners which give ~3 times the prints for ~2 times the cost of the standard ones.
    We only use HP LaserJets at work so I can comment on other makes.
  • There is a website which gives you a free Dell network colour laser printer when you buy a full set of toners (at £99 - quite steep!). I don't have the link at the moment though......

    Is IJT Direct the company you're referring to?
