Seeking Affordable, Compact Laser Printer for Daily Use: HP Atarmentówka Alternatives Under 200 PLN

A cheap printer is expensive consumables.

Look for used equipment.

I once bought a penny (equivalent of PLN 15) at the flea market at the epson epl6100 printer. I wanted to get it started and see what's inside. But when connected to a computer, it turned out that it prints. Admittedly pale and vertical stripes but I didn't give up I bought a toner powder (150g powder) at a similar price, cleaned the laser components, rotating mirrors, prisms and the printer started printing correctly. I already print 12 years. And at home, kids print things for school, work, etc. The counter when buying indicated 55,000 pages, now it has 10,000 more.
Recently a colorful laser (Samsung CLP 365) appeared on the shelf for color prints, but Epson is not inferior in quality.

If several pages per month, I suggest you buy something the cheapest, but new. Remember that new devices have so-called boot toners for a limited number of prints. For example, Samsung, whose normal toner lasts for about 1,500 pages in the boot version, allows you to print only about 500 pages. With 40 pages per month, it's enough for a year. Samsung MA is also quite cheap substitutes (I use substitutes myself)
On the Media Markt website there are three monochrome laser printers for up to PLN 300. Compare other stores and choose something for yourself.

Search Konica Minolta 1600F printer portals. The new toner capacity is 4,000 prints. Cheap toner

I buy new toners for the recommended printer for PLN 70 each.

At Allegro, regenerated toner for PLN 87.

I buy a cow oki b4350 for 11 zlotys + shipment or bigger about 30 zlotys.

But it's a big old laser printer.

I have never done anything like that.

I bought the printer in September 2011, a year ago I replaced the drum because it was dirty, so some PLN 150 went roughly + the smallest toner for PLN 10 + shipping (plus the second bigger one bought yesterday founded on 7k pages).

So that he rests a lot though yesterday I wanted to print 127 pages (two pages per page) and there was no problem.

So now of course you can easily buy it for PLN 200 with duplex (mine does not have it so if you want to play double-sided printing, you need to turn the pages).

I am very pleased and most importantly there are no problems with the driver under 7 and probably and under newer systems will go. What used to be with disposable inkjet cartridges where you had to use the laser regularly is heaven and earth.

From what I looked, she printed over 6,000 pages.

USB has and LAN options could be purchased to connect directly to the rj45 router with a cable. Although I already had a USB cable to the router and the router supported it.

Multifunctional without duplex and network: I use DCP 7010 and it is armored equipment, cheap is used. As for the printer, I recommend the cousin HL 2030 and derivatives. Toner for 3 thousand pages PLN 30, beats the worn out HPki on the head (and has a drawer for cards not like HP from the 10XX series). The drum costs around PLN 40 and I only replaced it once. greetings

A year ago a colleague "hit" the post-leasing HP2015dn (duplex and network card) - PLN 100. Mileage, attention ... 58 pages. Factory cleanliness inside. Older HP models were durable and idiotic and by the way they perfectly tolerated replacements. The company still has several HP printers in use - LJ 1200/1300 models, 2001/2002 - they have not yet seen a screwdriver at mileages of 80-100 thousand. printed pages. Toner (replacement), with a skillful adding of powder, it withstands 4-5 "top-ups" (one "top-up" costs about 10-12 zlotys) which gives about 8-10 thousand pages, then you need to replace the slats and the drum or buy another replacement - 40 zł. Personally, I would not be afraid of used equipment, especially HP. I use two HP laser at home - LJ 1000 and LJ1150 recovered from the printer palette I bought a few years ago for all .... ro. For these printers, the cost of even new parts is low and availability is widespread. It is clear that what colleagues recommend is not inferior brands.

PS Despite the age, most printers can run under Win7,8,10 systems. UPD drivers from HP give quite a lot of freedom with older equipment models.
