Not a problem as I inherited a HP 1300 black and white printer. This,

That's a domestic printer alright. Made for SOHO users and sold on the
razor blade pricing model, so not much of an escape from the world of
ink cartridges. But you inherited it, so some claw back.
I prefer printers built for offices. They have better ink capacity,
larger paper trays and cheaper replacement compatible carts. From
companies like printerland.co.uk they are not that much different in
cost than what you may find in John Lewis...
I am considering just junking themĀ* but wondered is there anything I can
diy to clean the samsung to stop the toner smearing, is it a problem
with the drum needing cleaning?
Just found a YouTube vid on how to strip Samsumg printers down if it helps.
