But beware buying a new cheap mono laser that takes expensive toner
cartridges. I bought an HP LaserJet 1018 very cheaply on a special
offer at Staples - £49 against the usual street price of £79 to £99.

Genuine HP toner cartridges cost £72 at Staples and £63 at PC World. So
down to Cartridge World and I got a remanufactured toner cartridge for a
mere £29.


Online is cheaper genuine Q2612A £57.70 @ dabs (£61.12 delivered) only
2,000 pages though. The 15X (3,500 pages) for my LJ1200 is only 64.36 from
Dabs (+ delivery). So the warning to check the cost/page of the
consumables is valid one.
