OK, am I missing something? I just found this printer on Viking Direct: Samsung CLP-325W Colour Wireless Laser Printer for £149 ex. VAT
http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/catalog/catalogSku.do?id=5051943&pr=Q2D&customerEnteredSku=Q2D-5051943
However, a little box came up on the side that advertised: Samsung CLP325W Colour Laser Printer with FREE Black Toner
http://www.viking-direct.co.uk/catalog/catalogSku.do?id=Q2D-5201829&cm_cat=2000000353
Now you would think that they would be the same price but no, the one with the 'free' toner is £206.99. The W is wireless, they are the same printer. So not exactly free toner then is it? Costs £47 plus VAT, more.
What is more, they are the same cartidges I use in the Samsung printer I have now and they only cost £43 anyway. Tsk.

It says 'comes supplied with starter toners' so perhaps it's just the black that is free, and the other colours are charged for?There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.0

No, they both come with starter toners but they are not full capacity (around 700 sheets), the 'Free' one is an additional spare toner to replace the black when it runs out, capacity is around 2200. I checked.0
