I have tried one of these, and they are cheap and nasty. Spent about 10 minutes trying to load just one sheet of paper...as it just keeps spitting it back out at you !!!

That was in response to high volume black and no mention of a £200 budget

I'd recommend a Samsung CLP 15 colour laser printer. You can get them for about £80. New ones come with around 60% toner cartridges. Mine ran for 4 years before the black ran out! 3 colours are still going. Had to fix it recently as they have a sensor that fails - this is a well known issue. The part costs £2.50 plus delivery- takes about 10 mins to fix.
Hate to say it, but just bin it and buy a new one when the toner runs out!!

In my opinion they are much cheaper to run tan inkjet and give much better results. Inkjet are best for photos.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus? yes it is an all-in-one, but it has a superlative scanner, gives great document prints, low running costs and a comprehensive list of office features. £150

The HP 8500A Plus is a good printer.

If you print a lot, also take a look at the Epson WorkForce Pro range. They are offering a free 3 year warranty on them at the moment.

Inks are original only at the moment but they come in three sizes, the XXL can be had for from about £33'ish for 3,400 page estimated print. That is a lot for an ink cartridge. Many laser toners don't print that many.

There are two types in the range. If the part number has a W near the end it has wireless, if an 'N' it is networked (wired). If both, then you can use either - of course they have USB too.

You might need to check the optional extended warranty as it may state you need to use original inks.
