The same that's wrong with a cheap laser. Expensive consumables.
Lightweight components. Poor paper handling options. Proprietary
drivers. Poor quality output.


Very few people will pay the price of a good printer. Nor will they
appreciate the difference between a good printer and ****e.


I've not had any of those troubles with a cheap laser.


As I said, "very few people will pay the price of a good printer" add
your name to the list of those that wont.

Do yourself a favour and avoid inkjets though, too much time wasted on
those.


And on "cheap" lasers.


My "inexpensive" £50 Samsung has given faultless service. The only
problem is the toner cartridges cost as much as the printer did, but
they are no more expensive than many other brands' cartridges.
