Q: What color laser printer can cheaply be refilled with non-OEM toner?

For years, I bought the Costco HP inkjets which required ink priced at
about 100 times what ink 'should' cost. I even tried the Costco $20 ink
refills, but of course, HP makes refills almost impossible, on purpose,
so I simply vowed to never buy another HP ink-based printer.

I bought an HP B&W laser printer, and have happily and successfully been
buying $5 guaranteed-used-once C92 cartridges and refilling the C4092A
black toner over the years at home, for about $5 for 250 grams of toner
as shown below (after melting a circular hole in the toner cartridge):

The problem is my kid wants a color printer and the wife concurs.

I never again wish to go through the expensive ink-refill sheer hell of
the typical HP inkjet ... so the 'only' color printer for me is one which
I can easily and inexpensively refill, at home, from non-OEM sources.

Hence my question:

Q: Do you know of a color laser printer that can be as easily refilled
from non-OEM sources like the B&W laserjets can?


Wow, 23 responses and not a single one answered your question.

I have a HP CP2025dn with four separate toner carts and I refill it
regularly with toner from http://www.tonerrefillkits.com/. Works
great. Cost of printer $468. Cost of spare set of carts $160 cost of
refill for a cart $35 or less. Refills last thousands of pages,
quality is good enough for photos, but not for professional
photographic work.

There are also some cheaper cart sets ($56-$68) listed on Amazon, but
they have mixed reviews. The stuff from tonerretillkits.com works. I
have been using it for six or more years for several different laser
printers.
