When I finally got around to using it, the cartridges had all dried up. I had to go buy new ones because the deep cleaning feature that my printer comes with didn't even get my old catridge working. Thirty dollars later and I have a new cartridge. I can see the advantages to laser now. Thanks. I have an inkjet printer that I didn’t even use for a good year or so.

You don't have problems with dried out cartridges, no matter how long you don't use the machine. A black cartridge lasts me about two years with quite a lot of printing, each of the three colours about three years. Colour is more accurate in comparison with what's on your monitor, all though that might be my particular printer; a Konica Minolta Magicolor 2300DL. All though cartridges are about six times the price of the cheapest bubble jet cartridges, they last twenty times longer. Printing is fast with no jams yet! Yes the printer is big so you might need to reserve a plot on your territory, but if you use a home or office network that shouldn't be a problem. The only real drawback: my laser printer will only print on very thin photo paper. 180 gsm is about the most mine will take. If you're buying a laser printer you might want to check how thick the paper that your printer will take. And make sure that all of your printing media is compatable with lasers.

With an inkjet, you might find that you can't print. I gave up on inkjets; if I want to print some pictures, I'll upload them to Wal-Mart.

Still in good condition and I always used refurbished toner after the first original toner finished. So far the toner last for one year. My opinion is better to used laser printer rather than inkjet printers because its speed, quality and also you can print more pages. Its true inkjet printers is more cheaper but laser printer value your money for long term used. I used Canon laser printer at my office (since 2005), but canon stop selling this model.

I found an HP P1005 monochrome laser printer on newegg for $75 shipped. I didn't need color, and the cost of ink for my inkjet was so expensive it was making me sick. I also like the speed of printing with the laser, and the lack of paper jams that I seemed to frequently get with inkjets of a similar price to my laser. All in all, I'm very happy I made the switch, and I'll never go back. I print at most several hundred pages a month. I decided to go this route.
