    Looking for a laserjet printer with only black and white, and cheap toner prices.

    How does it work with laserjet printers? Do you have to buy the drum and the toner everytime? or just the drum and put the toner inside the drum?

    Anyways im looking for as cheap and efficient as possible

    Since you are just requiring monochrome, you can but refills for most "laser" (most cheap ones use a row of LEDs these days) printers. The only thing to watch out for is where there are special finishes in the toner which would be absent in the refill toner, but that's not likely to be a problem with monochrome.

    Before deciding on a model, check to make sure that the toner carts are refillable. You may find that the original cart that comes with the printer is not refillable but the replacement carts are. This is done to ensure that you buy at least one genuine cart.

    Always as lynx stated search backwards. Refills 1st, printer 2nd.

    Btw with your nic & your request. I pray violent propaganda flyers or worse is not your aim. Allah/God bless.

    I use cartridges not toner drums.

    But my advice whenever you have spare time. Search on ebay. Stuff pops up twice as cheap sometimes.

    You'd be amazed. I got 6blk & 4clr carts for $17 otd.

    How do you use inkjet carts in a laser printer?
