Just found Fuji Xerox DPP115B Mono Laser Printer at Officeworks for $29.95 or $28.45 with ING Direct 5% cash back.
It comes with 1000 pages of toner and USB Printer cable. I think it is a good price for a Laser Printer.
Specs:
Details at Officeworks website.
Shipping is $5.95 or FREE Pickup In Store
And that's at more than one retailer… wow!
That's $292.86 cheaper — bargain!
Yeah but it works out to only $10.00 per page.
How about refilling the toner with ink? Might be cheap..
The printer comes with 1000 Pages printing though.
You never want to refill toner cartridges with ink.
Mono laser printers are just getting cheaper and cheaper.
Toner is $59.95 http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Ink-and-Toner/… cheaper to buy 2 printers
It is
Can't seem to see a price on a drum from Officeworks
You are better off buy 2 sets or 3 sets of those printers. Rather than spending nearly double the price just on 1 toner alone.
It depends on how full the printer is
Many sell them with minimal ink so they force you to buy a full cartridge
Approximate Starter Page Yield: 1000 Pages Black
Consumables Yield: 1000 Page Black Toner
lol
Hopefully we can trust what is actually written
How much black printing is allowed per page? Because if the page of full of black it would run out quicker than if the page only had a few texts
Most manufacturers follow the ISO guidelines explained on this page (Lexmark) http://www.lexmark.com/en_AU/products/ink-toner/iso-page-yie…
Basically a standard A4 page with 5% coverage.
Can't find compatibles. I use $20/toner compatibles for my coloured brother printer that work great.
This model has a separate toner and drum.
good deal?
I have DPP205b. Probably about the same as DPP115B.
Pros:
Cons:
Personally, I treat these as disposable printers. If you had to print something using laser printer and you don't want to drain your main printer's toner.. then print them using one of these.
found any difference between papers?
Same type of paper on other printers are okay (including another Xerox, a larger one - no issue with the paper). Couldn't be bothered trying different paper on a low cost printer. Another issue (which is more common) is 2 pieces of paper come out of the output tray.
It is a common issue with low end compact laser printers, not just Xerox one. A place I used to work had a famous "C" brand laser printer, but a low cost one. More or less the same issue.
There's something so wrong about how printers work these days, but I'll be damned if I'm going to blame the consumers and not the arsehole manufacturers.
This deal was posted 4 months ago or so. Someone said you could get 2 toner cartridges for $50 from some Chinese website but did not say which one.
Nah sorry, I saw a similar Fiji Xerox, it had duplex and network capability. I haven't looked at the specs of this but I doubt it has either. Would be one sided printing and usb only.

This replacement toner cartridge for the printer only costs $13,205 with free delivery!. Just for craps and giggles

If you have a spare $72,000.00 & a true Ozbarginer buy six and save about $2,000 on each cartridge
I read somewhere in Whirlpool that some companies rather than say out of stock, they put up ridiculous prices on their items that are out of stock because it is easier (or cheaper) to change prices than say no stock or pull it off the search engine.
The shops that usually hog the first few entries of the websites like myshopping.com apparently are owned by the same company (but use different names). They have identical stocks and almost identical webpages. This is what I read from whirlpool but I cant find that particular thread now.
Common on ebay too.
I used to work for eStore and there was no real difference between changing the price on the system as opposed to the stock allocation; it's likely to be an error.
Any Linux support?
No direct linux support. Well there's no official linux driver for this printer under the drivers page. Only Windows or Mac OS.

BROTHER HL-1110 MONO LASER PRINTER $45
Printer Compatibility: Windows 8 (32&64Bit), Windows 7 (32&64Bit)… Linux Cups/Lpr
Extra $16, what a rip! :-)
Funny how it's 2014 and this "ink costing more than the printer itself" problem STILL exists. With things like kickstarter etc, I'm honestly baffled as to why someone hasn't innovated a solution to this yet … =/
Actually there's no ink to be had it's all toner. But any way yep toner cartridges usually cost more than the printer itself costs.
Lol I'm showing my age then. But yeah same issue spanning over multi generations of the same gadget.
It's not a problem, it's a benefit!
My first laser printer, back in the 90's, was an HP laserJet 6 that cost more than $1,000. The toner for it was $150. Since then printer prices have dropped dramatically, at least in part because the profits from ongoing toner/ink sales make it commercially attractive for vendors to lower the initial capital cost and sell more machines, so as to increase their ongoing profits from consumables.
As far as I can see that's a win-win for consumers, as despite the best efforts of the printer manufacturers, cartridge refilling and remanufactured/compatible cartridges, enable substantial savings on operating costs while we also get the benefit of much cheaper printers.
i BOUGHT TONER CARTRIDGE FROM MSY TECH OEM FOR $19
HE TOLD ME IT WAS LESS THAN STANDARD FUJI OUTPUT.
A PAIN AS AMIDA XE205b CARTRIDGE DOES NOT SAY HO9W MANY PAGES THEY DO.
CHINESE OEM RIP OFF?
PREVENTS FAIR COMPARISON ON PRICE.
You have a point. I often think about the company leases on cars this way, quite stupid that companies buy a commodore or falcon for 40k, put it on the Rd for 2 years, then it sells for 10k and it's a write off for them. Stupid because tax payers money is helping write the car off, but a boon if you are looking for a 2 yr old commodore or falcon.
What's worse is the model of paying less in tax the more you drive, this is incentivising green house gas emissions. Totally stupid on the side of the govt, but when the last government wanted to do something about it the current government the decided to sit on the side of the car dealers and Shit bag them., said the govt of the time we destroying the car industry. Then they come out and pull all incentives for car companies, effectively destroying the local car industry. Go figure
Sorry I forgot to get back to this comment.
That's a great point. I have no complaints whatsoever about the cost of printers coming down 85%, but I do find it frustrating that ink costs have stayed mostly the same. Most home printers (at least in my house) die after a year anyway.
I do find it frustrating that cartridges havn't fallen in price anywhere near as much though. I don't know what the manufacturing process is but I wouldn't have thought the cartridges would have been that difficult to manufacture when the offmarket cartridges are 80% the same at 20% the price. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I wouldn't have thought that much labour would have gone into producing them. Economic terms - would have thought the cartridges were more price elastic.
And it comes off wasteful to me how consumers are (probably) disposing printers so frequently and piling up on the landfill. I reckon I'd be happy to pay A BIT more for an extremely stable printer with a good long warranty if the cartridges were the same as the offmarket eBay quality and price. I don't need fancy photo quality for 5x the price, but that's just me.
Buy the $44 brother printer instead. Can get OEM toners on eBay for $20 or so each.
I've had the multifunction version (mono) of this Fuji printer for about 2 years now and cannot fault it.
Very fast, economical, and sharp printing.
It has been running on cheap Chinese / ebay toner cartriges for over a year with no problem.
It serves several computers networked through the modem using one computer as the host.
Contrary to the person above we have had no paper jams.
For $30 this is a hot deal for a very good printer.
What eBay toners do you use?
Was a long time ago… cant remember.. just search on ebay for the cartridge or printer number.
Mine was double the standard size.
Contrary to the person above we have had no paper jams.
My Fuji Xerox gets chronic paper jams. One time it was so bad, they sent a brand new printer for free. That ended up jamming too.
Can't get this printer working on Mac OSX 10.9 (Mavericks).
Fuji Xerox website only has drivers up to 10.8.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Does anyone know of any cheaper toners or whatever this thing uses?
ebay is your friend…
Not in this case. Can't find one. :/
Try hottoner.com.au next day delivery unbeatable prices. No I'm not a rep.
I have a couple of emptied printer cartridges and I am wondering if I can buy refill toner powder. does anyone know or tried doing this?
Cheers OP free postage for 2 as well :)
Thanks OP, ordered with a free delivery.
It's a shame that manufacturers would rather poop out all of these cheap printers rather than simply offer decent pricing on the ink/toners, agreed.
But do you know what's worse than that corporate greed?
The end users who think nothing of buying & dumping cheap said printers & filling the landfills to the sky with them all…as if that's a perfectly acceptable thing to do? Two wrongs have never made a right- & it isn't helping, isn't "saving", isn't "sticking it to the man" to willingly participate in polluting the planet on this scale.
I'll just keep the one I have & try to get the best price to refill.
Imho.
Agree wholeheartedly.
Yes. Landfill is a serious problem and these days people are just getting a new printer rather than refill.
One of my friend told me that he is going to buy a new printer as buying the ink is expensive. He has been doing this for some time. I had to spend some time to explain him that the new printers come with almost no ink cartridges.
The new printers come with little ink/but better toner.
I am begging now!
PLEASE——
Do not buy printers to pile up in landfills. Buy to use, long-term.
Do you know that the components/circuit boards of modern printers are poisonous?
FYI
Be responsible- geez…
yep. same goes for any cheap non-recyclable items - microwaves, vacuum cleaners etc. I suppose this would be difficult for bargainhunters.
Welcome to the wasteful society.
The junk 3rd world countries manufacture multiplies the waste. I own a bicycle pump purchased about 1985. It's old, dented, difficult to pump, and its flexible extension became cross-threaded. So I recently bought a $7 one from Kmart. Made in China of course. It was such a poor quality there was no way you could pump a bicycle tyre with it, or even a ball for that matter. As you went to take the next pump, the air you already pumped in forced the handle back out - hard. If your hand slipped it would have clouted you in the face! Returned it the next day and bought a new flexible extension for my old pump. Also Kmart and also made in China. Two weeks later it fell apart. My old pump? I pulled it apart, greased it and it's working fine - but now I can't buy a decent flexible extension that is not made in China.
I'm sick of products that cannot even do the task they are meant to - when they're NEW. Let alone last 15 minutes after purchase. In the 70s Japan was the butt of jokes. "It's not made in JAPAN is it?" Who would've though the junk of yesterday would be BETTER than the junk of today! Not to mention you're lucky if you can even FIND a better product to purchase today.
Just purchased 4 of these from officeworks. Officeworks will also recycle the toner and printer once you're done with it.
Bought one… then changed my mind.
The Fuji Xerox DPP255DW (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/118828) is a much better unit - wired/wireless networked, duplex, faster, proper control panel, Android support, higher res…
Although it's $79 (generic) toner is much cheaper and widely available.
Fuji Xerox DPP115B Mono Laser Printer $29.95 @ Officeworks
I purchased one of these today at my local Office Works (along with 4 reams of paper).
So far, I have printed several 100 pages, and the printer has worked flawlessly. Dead easy to setup and install, and super fast printing.
My last laser printer was a LaserJet 4L, which I purchased in ~1993 for about 500 UK pounds (well over $1,000 AUD), and it was very slow. It died in about 2002 (after almost 10 years of very occasional and very light use), and I have been using laserjet printers at home since then - only need to do very occassional printing at home.
But, I needed to do lots of printing at home this week, and decided to have a go at this Fuji Xerox laser printer, and I am very glad I did. A great little machine ! Excellent quality printing. It's only B&W, but I have the laserjet for colour if I need colour. The bulk of my printing is B&W.
For $29.95, this printer is a complete bargain !!!
Officeworks will also recycle the toner and printer once you're done with it.
Awesome ! :)
Thanks Moose-au for the reminder I keep forgetting to pick one of these up
the BROTHER HL-1110 MONO LASER also has only 1 meg of ram I guess they use the PC's ram or video card ram now
….. MEMO to self …… Officeworks Saturday morning !!!
yep this dpp115b looks like great deal, surpassed the p205b I bought last year, that one I absolutely abused, been through about 9-10 cheap $11 refills at about 2000 pages each or so. the print quality is now ok with a few repeating dots in the printouts. I think its time to pick up a dpp115b and abuse that too!
Have you checked that we can easily refill toner cartridges with new toner powder through a hole? Also, is there a toner counter or not?
$11 refills?
where are they? for 205B
I found $19 on static ice only

Sure, the printer might be cheap, but a replacement toner cartridge costs $11,383.86 according to Myshopping.com.au! :P
