all the price/page comparisons are to be taken with a grain of salt. what do they calculate for the ink/toner? usually regular street price, which you can easily outrank by finding a discount shop online (worst case eBay will show enough) or near you.

Samsung does neat 600x600dpi b/w laser printers that start for around 70 EUR plus taxes - for that price you even have to consider not getting a toner when it's empty but a new printer. Brother b/w laser join the market for around 90 EUR plus taxes.

for under 250 EUR plus taxes you get nice colour laser printers (Samsung, Canon, Konica). and those will not dry out like ink ones do, if you do not print for a few weeks (and holidays will come around again)

with laser printers and faxes i use no-name toner cartridges without any hassle. ink always seem to mess up and get the colours wrong with cloned products.
