Can anyone say if that is still the case I'm seriously looking at buying the Samsung SCX-3405W. With a new toner costing in the region of £50 (Amazon) I'd like to think I could pick up a compatible one at somewhat less.

Samsung say: 'The Toner that comes with the printer is a starter toner. It will get you around 40% of what’s in a proper toner. This toner is only designed to get your printer up and going and should last about 400 pages.'

As always many thanks for your replies.
