Remember to include the price of a new toner cartridge when looking for a cheap laser printer. Some become quite expensive when you include it.

    When I bought a small office laser printer for making stickers it took me four years before I needed to change the cartridges. It only came with those partially full ones too. Unless you're printing dozens of full color sheets a day the cost of cartridges is likely a minimal consoderation

    You could if you want. But then again, remember that most people will be replacing that toner cartridge only once every 2-5 years. So it's not like a major expense.

    It depends on how much you print of course, like if you're a teacher or something, you might print a lot.
