Hey guys
I need a LASER printer for my home.
I will do a bit of heavy black and white printing and i need only laser.
Scanner is not a need because i will be using my old printer as a scanner, then too no harm if it has inbuilt.

I would prefer HP for printers.
I found out some:- LJ 1020+, LJP 1108, OJP 3620, OJP 3610.

Any other models are welcome :)

Thanks in advance :)

If you don't have any special need with a printer, why don't you just save some cash in the process? 11k is a good budget.

I don't know much about HP, but being in close contact with a Canon retailer, I can give you some Canon prices:

LBP 2900b costs Rs. 6800. Its only a Printer.
MF3010 has Print, copy, Scan functions. It costs Rs. 9950. It also has faster printouts than lbp2900, although LBP by itself has good print speed.

Both these printers can be easily refilled as Canon as a company, doesn't restrict fakes & compatible parts too much. Fake chargers, toners, etc. are abundant in the market, and are a good low cost alternative.
Canon only plays an advisory role in terms of informing customers, not to choose fakes/ compatibles for warranty and peace of mind reasons. :)

But you got yourself an inkjet?

Now, my only advice is that you print very often... Lasers can be left alone, but inkjets have to be printed with all the time to keep them running. And of course, lasers will be sharper but this won't be so much, more due to nature of paper. Ink spreads on paper, no matter how small a droplet. :(

Yes, I bought an inkjet, this is bit economical, but yes, it may dry up.
I will also buy a backup laser Thanks :)
