Can anyone recommend a monochrome (black toner) laser printer that

Why are you buying ink every month if you are not printing much--to
be more specific, I'm asking if something is happening to your ink
(or ink cartridge)-- is it an ink jet printer and the nozzles
getting clogged, or maybe a laser printer in a high humidity
environment making the toner get too humid to work properly?
If either of those are a possiblity, I wouldn't order a new printer
until you've considered the cause of the problem...
Thanks for your reply, Maybe I should have prefaced that statement
with a "for me" phrase. I do print out a number of articles during a
month but I used to have an hp722 printer and that cartridge held 2-3
times the ink my last printer held. AND I was able to refill the 722
and the last one, an hp psc1510. But for some reason in the last
year I have been unable to get a successful refill on the 1510 and so
am having to keep purchasing cartridges. It uses a small cartridge
and I have cut back on my printing considerably and really get honked
off when it spits out a big black block of ink in an article I can't
print from a pre-set printjob setup from the web page source. And my
1510 just died on me so am in need of a new printer so decided on a
laser printer as I care not for color.
Thanks for chiming in tho. I do appreciate everyone's help here. You
all have so much knowledge and we all learn from you.
Thanks again. Help and advice much appreciated.
I tired of inkjet printers (and having to replace or fill the
cartridges) and purchased a factory refurbhished Samsung ML-1710
(discontinued model) B&W laser printer for $75 US. Still going strong
11 years later. Fairly low volume. Less than 1000 sheets per year. And
Linux drivers from Samsung, too. But looking to replace it with a
duplex printing model with higher resolution for $300 or less. I'm
patient. So, I can wait for a sale, but whatever I buy, it will be a
Samsung model for sure.
