For 70ukp I can get an entry level laser inc. usb cable. Is there

For less than 70ukp you could get an ex-office HP laserjet with a
built-in network interface (so you both could use it) and access to
cheap supplies of toner from remanufactured cartidges.


For example, I paid £25 for my Laserjet 5m. Apart from a good clean and
a new toner cartridge, it's been providing sterling service for years.


Yup. Last two Laserjet 4M+ machines I bought cost me the combined sum of
£7. Plus a 15 minute drive to collect. They each needed about 15 minutes
work and a good clean, and that's all.
