  Yeah the toner prices are ridiculous. Can't find cheap generics after a quick search. Better off with a brother/fujitsu colour laser?

    Quite a lot of consumer laser printers have expensive toners is because the toner cartridge is often not only the toner, they combine the whole set like Toner + Drum.

    This is to do with less maintenance required.

    Where as Brother ones, use Toner only, they sometimes don't even have a chip on them. So you have to buy and replace the Drum yourself when it depletes.

    I myself use a Brother MFC-9970CDW, got it for super cheap as second hand with less than 6000pages printed.
    Toner cartridges for each color is $30 (high yield 6000 pages).

    Drum needs to get changed every 2-3 toner changes, but I usually use them until I get issues with prints as they usually work longer than manufacture specified.

    You can get a lower model Brother for less price, maybe 3x the price of the Samsung, however after changing the toners 2-3 times, every change after that you are gaining money.

  $75 per toner cartridge, $280 for a set of 4. I have no idea how long the cartridges last but it doesn't seem cheap to run.

    Edit: Oh, apparently not.

    Only if the ink is also cheap. Because printers for the price of lunch money means a whole bunch of them will end up in landfill.

  Whilst not the exact same model, I have a CLP-620 Samsung Color Laser that has done close to 2500 pages of prints over the past 2 years on the initial toner start pack that it came with, and only now am I looking at replacing the black toner (which, the replacement whilst costly, actually has more print life out of it then the base inclusion).

  Checking the specs of the included ink for the CLP-415 shows it's good for about 1000 black/700 colour pages - http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/print-solutions/print-mul… which for the price is pretty decent, whilst the consumables are 2500 pages each.

  Since the CLP-620 is at my parents house and I don't have as much room in my apartment, it's tempting to pick this up.

  The cartridges that come with the printer are usually only partially full. Don't expect them to last very long.

  Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, NEVER!!!!!! (I hope I Make my point clear)
  Buy a Samsung printer!
  EVER!!!
  Why?
  I have bought these two, one for me and one for my partner.
  Samsung clx 3185fw
  Samsung scx-4623fw
  Lets make a list of the horrible experiences.
  Day one = Yay, new printer. Ok let’s install and test, drivers and stuff on cd, um no cd in my partners PC ok off to the web. Looked for a installer package, exe etc = NO, download all separate parts and hope they work = 1 hour lost.
  Ok go to install on my PC = ok while installing needs to update stuff??
  Computer freeze while update = reboot and try again. I played this game 3 times. No didn’t work ok back to the net. = 2 hours lost
  Ok managed to install both printers to my machine for testing. Go to test printing = ummmm need a printer cable to set up initial stage. What a $2 cable NOT included! Really? Wifi wont work with out this cable!!!
  Ok wait till tomorrow and go to a shop and buy one = one hour lost
  Tested usb printing = tested out ok, not contract quality ok lets call Samsung = umm lets just say their service department is below average = next hour lost
  Time to set up wifi networking = the original reason we purchased these machines.
  Long story short = I have set up several local businesses with the local network, printers (wired and wireless,) print servers etc, (the after hours work that paid for these printers) so I know what I am doing. = 3 hours lost on the first day, 2 hours lost on the second = MEGA FUDGE!!
  Just google Samsung wifi printer problems. Go on I dare you.

  Ok lets go forward a couple of months
  Samsung scx-4623fw = prints and jams, does not stay on-line and finally it jams so badly and consistently it needs to be looked at = first service, drive out and back = 1 hour lost.It then begins to jam again. It then fails to scan stuff and I uninstall and reinstall to try and fix it, reset the machine and called Samsung = 3 hours lost
  Then at 300 pages it’s out of toner, yes it was on mega toner saver mode and its jammed!

  Samsung clx 3185fw = prints and makes a horrible noise, does not stay on-line and starts to produce a water mark on every page, EVRY PAGE!!
  Off the service center (again) = they say it’s a black drum/development unit needs replacing, it is still under warranty but these parts are a consumable which is not covered by warranty. The print report on this machine is all colors are at 100% the black is at 56% and a total page print count of 346 pages, not even one ream! = 2 hours lost one printer wrecked. All we printed was contracts and receipts, the important things for our new business. We are on a shoe string budget, working our normal jobs and trying to get our new business afloat.

  We have lost almost a $1000 on these two machines counting up the initial cost, initial time to install, time to drive it out to “service centre,” calls, time to run around to local places to have work printed, missed work. So for about a $1000 we have made about 700 prints, AWESOME! Thank you Samsung……
  We have made enough calls with heated discussions to realize our money is lost. Please heed my warning and spread it to all.

  PS. Yes I am yelling and saying this with accents loudly because if I can save a fellow ozbargainer a single dollar and help them miss a disastrous life decision then I am happy.

  My advice is spend a little extra, do your research = googleSamsung clx 3185fw user review
  http://www.productreview.com.au/p/samsung-4-in-1-wireless-pr…
  Check Amazon as well.

  PPS. Don’t bother with the wifi because the software apps can't find printer unless directly connected, which is lame for a wi-fi device.
