Hi, After a lot google-ing I found three entry level Laser printers:
Samsung : ml 2010
Xerox : phaser 3117
HP 1018

Going by price the Xerox printer has got least price tag while samsung and hp almost same.;)
Page per toner is highest for ML-2010.:p But, I heard that ML-2010 is very noisy and jams a lot.:mad:
Can anyone please tell me which is the best of them?:confused:
Can U please give me the toner prices..
Thanks in advance.

I think Samsung one is the best best as it has a better life cycle of the toner as compared to HP one...
Xerox comes in second...Though you might have to search about its service in your area..
Search on the net for review..Most printer reviews from good sites are unbiased...

HP 1020 plus. It's the best! We printed over 3000 pages in last one month. It worked without a hitch. Got the toner refilled now and it still gives pretty good print quality.

The toner in 1018 is half-filled and that is why the cost is lower. If you add a fully loaded toner to it, there is hardly any price difference.

Additionally, on-site warranty is pretty convenient
