My HP deskjet printer has finally packed up, so I am need of a replacement.

I never print out in colour, so folk have suggested I buy a laser printer, which would be more economical.

I don't actually print out too many pages per day, maybe just 3 or 4 per day (on average) so I do not need a high spec, super fast machine.

Which printer would folk here recommend please.

thank you

    One of the budget Samsung models, I've installed a few over the last few years and never had an issue.

    Similarly the Brother models seem to work pretty well.

    I've got a Lexmark e350d monochrome laser here.

    If used with the high capacity toner cartridge, the cost per page is tiny. Printer itself can be picked up for buttons these days on a well-known auction site - as can the cartridges and photoconductor units.

    Can double-side print (duplex) and is up to 33ppm printing speed. Power consumption is very small indeed when in power saver mode.

    HTH

    Whatever you buy first check the cost of the replacement toners.. I have had Samsung and Brother models over many years..

    Consider a secondhand HP 4000 series. Still plenty around, highly reliable and inexpensive to run. Many business users say they go on for ever, upwards of half a million prints. Target price £40 - 50 on eBay.

    Very happy with a Panasonic KX-MB2010 I got for not a lot on Amazon, it's an all-in-one, network and USB, mono only, reasonable refill prices
