I have two laser printers, that work well and are nice to use with my
Linux, BSD, Apple/Macs.
The Apple LazerSelect 360 was free, but, the original toner cartridge
dated 1993 finally emptied after printout #5377, and a replacement brand
new one on ebay was $17 delivered.
I picked up a Brother 5 in 1 Fax, copier, scanner, printer, pc fax
MFC-8500 for $25 at Thriftko. It worked, but, it is now at the end of
it's original 2004 TN-460 cartridge.
Refilling is a viable option for me, though I see some refurb cartridges
for $19 and up, and factory new ones for about $29 and up.
Refill quantities of Toner are as pricey as the new cartridge.
But, there are cartridges for HP Laserjet II/IIP/III for $4.95 each on
close-out, as that model is a bit dated to most vendors.
I figure I could buy a couple of those, and refill my empty cartridges,
the replaced Apple unit and this Brother TN-460.
Anyone want to advise me of their experiences or opinions?
Anyone have some bulk toner, or know where it is sold at a reasonable
price?
