    I use the old HP Atarmentówka, but it is not available for simple tasks on a daily basis - black and white printout, occasional few or over a dozen pages a month.

    Please offer a really cheaper to use printer and quite small to 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.

    Not bad, here you know it is about reliability, after all, a few pages a month is not a big deal but the importance of these matters. For example, documents for the office, the court, as recently, not enough to run around people, there are cases that are not shown to third parties.

    A lot about cheap internet, I need creative options because Google has a thousand topics. Dozens of different proposals.

    Praised Samsung ML-2165W - stimulants are rare but they hit the mark.
    I think HP P1102 is cheap exploitation - but it is not ideal due to the price out of reach also on the secondary market.

    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.

    Yes, but you mainly quote offers.

    Currently, my inkjet from a few years ago - 30 PLN cartridge black replacement - not profitable.

    I have never used a laser so the costs of maintenance in case of failure must be low / decent.

    What feedback about usage:
    Samsung Xpress M2026W
    Ricoh sp150w USB + WIFI
    LJ Pro M12w
    It doesn't have to be colorful.

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

    300PLN is definitely worth looking for something like this, but it is very difficult to access it, hence I gave my suggestion.

    Where do you buy it because you definitely have a better source? :)

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

    But it's a big old laser printer.

    Old or new, but if you don't use it, do you need to turn it on periodically for maintenance? On the other hand, 4,000 pages for a home a year - in my situation, it's unreal ...... (or it's an estimate only)

    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.

    And what higher model than her? Yes, we can move in antiques, but the average profit is that I will save PLN 100. Toner with toner, but if something breaks down it will go a long way.

    In the subject I meant that it was supposed to be extremely reliable, because to print something at the last minute to go to a photocopier point is not really. Earlier a colleague suggested a home photocopier, she probably is too good (with the disadvantage of lack of full support under x64). Occasional print 50-100k./msc + something bigger once a year. (i.e. optional PLN 300 something for a small office)

    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

    I am asking for a few more suggestions, because I do not have a quick purchase, and since you recommend some of it, it is either in stores or if older printers are available.

    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.

    With what mileage it is worth looking for these HP2015dn, this is a 12-year printer. I come back to the topic because I was supposed to buy a new one then. Now the question is which printers mentioned by you have good toner availability and for how long. It is not about a large-sized combine.
