Here in Europe I have found that the prize per page of all cheap laser printer are about the same.

I have a ML-1610 without convenient bung (don't you mistake with a similar printer). On the internet, we find refill kits but it is necessary to melt a hole in the cartridge and the cartridge can only be refilled once before degrading quality (according what I have found on the net; I never tried myself). Here in Europe a new cartridge cost about 70 EUR (the printer itself costs 100 EUR). Olive

Maybe the 1610 is different. The cartridge in the UK costs about 70 GBP (about 100 euros) and the printer costs only 50 GBP (about 70 euros). Ian

The 1610 carts goes for 40-50 GBP, one of the things I checked before buying the printer. Out of interest, does anybody know how well laser printers handle being left for months on end between jobs (switched off of course)? I can't think of anything, except dust, that'd be an issue.

As I don't use it much I have never replaced the toner cartridge. My mother has a color LaserJet 2550L which is also on 24/7. She uses the printer even less often than I use mine. However, that printer does some kind of "exercises" a few times a day even though it is unused. My guess is that it wants to shake its toner. For this reason I beleive that the printer prefers to be on even though it is not used for a long time. Earlier experiences with inkjet printers showed me that the ink cartridges had to be replaced about once a year. Not because they were empty, but because they got clogged when the printer wasn't used much. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

No dust problems, however, not much dust here. You could go to the local office supply and buy one of those generic dust covers for a couple dollars if you're that worried about dust. ken |
