low end laser printer?

[Stuart Biggerstaff]

The high toner cost of the Lexmark would be almost matched by any Lexmark, 
Samsung, or HP because the imaging drum is built into the 
cartridge.  Others have a separate drum that must be replaced at intervals, 
and is even closer to the cost of a new printer than the Lexmark 
cartridge.  Their toner cartridges tend to be cheaper than the ones with 
the drum, but except for Okidata not as much less as one would hope.
