You have to search for "Sharks with lasers" and then select the "printers" option on the left menu ..... duh!
Canon is good. We have one. The toner and drum are built into the same cartridge so no double replacement... Some are seperate.. Ours is the mf230 series canon printer the b/w one but they have color ones too. The toner cartridges can be picked up on ebay for a really good price. We bought a 2 pack for less than 20 bucks I think. The packs seem to last a decent time. ( like enough toner for around 2 thousand pages ) from each toner pack..

Wow, that's not bad. Maybe it's time to start looking at printers again, we're replacing vertically every other piece of electronics in the house this year anyway.
@NurseDave here is a color all in one laser at
Canon Color imageCLASS MF641Cw - Multifunction, Mobile Ready Laser Printer - Walmart.com
its 199.00 I looked on ebay and you can buy toner pack with all the color and black toner packs for 38 dollars or more depending on how many sets you order at once....

Dang, that’s screaming cheap. Gotta wonder why, but at $200 it would be worth finding out. Walmart is one of the stores we boycott though. I’ll keep searching them out when we go to Costco.
Yeah I had just did the search and found that one and thought I would let you know.. I know sometimes even with a store I hate if they have something cheaper than everywhere else I will get it from them anyway.. Sometimes some places have better deals because of quantities they can purchase are larger so they get a better deal but other times its because like on laser printers the toner packs are smaller starter packs so they can sell it cheaper..
This will be followed by My opinion...
Designed for home and small offices, the Canon Color imageCLASS MF641Cw printer offers feature-rich capabilities with high-quality imaging and minimal maintenance. Print, scan, and copy capabilities help you accomplish necessary tasks with just one machine. A 5" color touchscreen delivers an intuitive user experience and can be customized by a device administrator to simplify many daily tasks.
These are my thoughts so far...
Okay this is about that Printer I mentioned made by Canon that was a color laser .. Well we bought one of them and this thing is great. It was easy to set up and connect with our wifi and seems to work with all the devices I have tried to print from so far. the toner comes in individual packs that are Black , Cyan , Magenta and Yellow.. I found several reputable sellers that have a complete set of toner cartridges for less than 40 dollars. The printer comes with starter toner cartridges and have a lower page yield than the full size packs which the following specs are for the full size.. The Page Yield is: 3,100 pages (black toner) and 2,300 pages (color toner) for the toner packs which is a lot better than inkjet yields of about 130 pages out of the inkjet cartridge which typically cost about twice as much as this laser printers toner packs. The print quality is fantastic and it took almost no time ( about 1 to 2 seconds ) to print an 8x10 photo.. This printer also has a nice sized touch screen display and features USB 2.0 x2 (Host), USB 2.0 x1 (Device) High-Speed, 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (Network), Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Wi-Fi® Direct Connection. Paper capacity is 250 sheets of 20 lb paper
Overall this has been a very good printer and probably one of the best value color laser printers currently on the market and if you can still find it on sale its truly a bargain..

We bought a brother black and white printer several years ago and have had good results with it. We are only now starting our third toner cartridge. I’ve been eyeing that little brother color printer for a while, but it doesn’t have automatic duplex. I try to conserve paper.
