    Hi folks, trying to find a decent wireless laser printer, that's affordable on a students budget! It'd be perfect if it was colour, but toner cost is the big issue. Willing to spend up to €150 for the printer, but hoping for cheap/refillable toner!

    Asking for too much?

    Any pointers would be appreciated.

    HP P1102W

    HP's are normally reliable but you might want to check reviews.

    Compatible Toner

    Haven't used ink maestro so no feedback for you on them.

    Within budget though.

    HP are great.
    I've had just as good experience with Samsung in recent years, and the toner tends to be cheaper per page, but it's very seasonal and varies wildly from place to place.

    If you had a networked enabled printer you could share it via your wifi, or some routers/modems have a usb port for printer and hard drive sharing

    Thanks for the replies folks, however, I spotted a Samsung ML-1865W, wireless mono laser printer, with an extra full size toner cartridge, for £99stg, so I bought it!
    A breeze to setup and connect to my wifi, and results are fairly crisp. The extra cartridge is a real plus, supposed to be worth 1500 pages. Refills, inc. chip, are about €40 at my local cartridge world, so not so bad. Originals are €52 at that inkmaestro place, still way cheaper than feeding the inkjet!

    Again, thanks for the feedback.
