Spec me a mono laser printer

[banja]

Hi.

I currently have a Samsung ML2010, which has been great while it worked. For the last few months though, paper refuses to pick up through it. A bit of internet research revelas that this is a common problem with this printer and the only fix is to replace the pick up roller.

Easier said than done. I can find the replacement roller, but for the life of me I can't work out how to get the case apart.

So I though nuts to it, I'll get a new printer. I was happy with the quality of the Samsung but I'm hesitant to buy Samsung again, as I only use the printer very rarely (like half a dozen prints pre month) so I'm quite unhappy that it's gone bad so easily.

So I want a mono laser printer, no frills, cheap as chips, but dead reliable. As I say, it will only see light use.

I really have no knowledge of which manufacturers are good or bad so I'd really appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Get a refurbed HP. I bought an HP 1320DN which comes with duplex and network for £79.99, Page count was only around the 3000 mark! I upgraded it with the Extra tray as well, which comes in very handy!

I'm told network administrators (i.e., those in the know [not me]) prefer Brother printers, so I bought a HL-2035. No complaints.

Thanks.

The Brother one is a good price and seems to get good reviews.

we use hp 4000, 4100, 4200 at work, and they are real workhorses. the 4000s are still going strong and they are ancient!

the 4200/4250 seem to go through a lot of service kits (rollers/fusers etc) comparatively, but they are in bank branches and do a LOT of work.
