Simple invoice printer

RFW

Probably better places to post this but I'll give this a whirl.
I'm looking for a simple, small(ish) printer that just prints in black and on A4 for invoices and post/courier labels. Wireless would be useful. Laser or inkjet, easy to manage, cheap on cartridges. Speed not too important, would be printing 50-100 sheets per day.
Up to about £50.

Add a couple of boxes of their paper as well, it's basically the cheapest you'll get and you free delivery with the printer.

and there's the replacement cartridges.

Brother lasers are cheap, reliable and consumables are easy to get and cheap too.

Something along these lines:

Cheers. They look like what I'm after.

The costs of cartridges and toner are a major issue and soon outweigh the initial cost of the printer. I'll second a Brother printer too. I've got a HL-2130 which looks similar to Dave's recommendation.

I do DIY toner refills which are very easy to do for this model. I'm on my third refill and quality is still good.

This page suggests printers that are easy to refill (one is a similar Brother) which is a good basis for choosing.

Thank-you. I had one of the early compact photocopiers years ago and tried filling my own, I still have some stains! I also ended up needing a new photocopier, so not the most cost effective thing for me but I'll have a look.

My current printer is pretty cheap on cartridges, with some Chinese copies working well mostly.

I still think there's a product missing somewhere, for what I need I'd have thought there should be a product not much bigger than the actual cartridge.

Actually you can be better than my earlier suggestion, and a brother too, certainly on start-up costs and possibly on cost per page too.

I bought a brother 1430 in 2005 from Staples for £50 and use it only for invoices, it's on its third cart, and its original drum, the cart it came with lasted for 4 years, workhorse printers, and carts are £13 from Amazon.
