Yes. Compatibles were around £50 when I first bought a set and they've lasted 12-18 months and still OK. I'm still waiting to put the e-bay cheapies in. I'm not a heavy print user and I'd probably be on my second or third inkjet by now with the inks drying up.3rd party carts?
CLX-2160. Full set of cartridges cost ~£20 off the bay. ....

I've installed a couple of the Samsung CLP series, pretty cheap to buy, toner is around £40 per colour for genuine Samsung toner .....

Those seem to be 1,000 page versions - so they'd work out more expensive than these http://www.phoenixdirectukshop.co.uk/acatalog/Samsung-CLP-500.php?printer=2508

I used to run a school network where we had all sorts of colour laser printers, eventually I got my own way using original toner after we had several expensive colour laser printers written off as a result of using compatible cartridges bought by our finance department who thought they could save money. The HP compatibles were the worst culprits.
I have a used HP CP3505dn printer which I bought some years ago for £100, it came with a full set of new HP original toner that would have cost £600+ to replace. These toner cartridges are good for 6000+ pages & include replacement drums. I suspect when I eventually need to buy toner I will look for a new printer.
I'd second the recommendation for samsung. I have a clp300n. Toners look easy enough to replace as some of them are well awkward. Wouldn't recommend Oki as they seem to be unreliable and play up whenever you change toners.
Unfortunately a set of compatible toner is still £275 with individual toner cartridges at £70+ . The printer is already 7-8 years old, at my current rate of use I think I still have 2-3 years toner left. When I run out of toner the printer will be 'recycled' . I also have an A3 colour inkjet printer so I will probably just get a cheap monochrome laser for documents.In which case you may as well run a cheap compatible until you write it off and then buy another... whichever works out better.
We had a printer consumables spammer necro the thread to post sales links. They're dead, but others had rejoined the convo by then.Holy thread revival Batman!
