[G4] Laser Printers?

[Alastair W. Hendrie]

Hi Scott,

I have a Samsung ML-1210 laser printer which is USB connected to my G4. 
It was a very cheap purchase from E-bay for my kids to print their 
university work on, as opposed to an expensive (in ink) inkjet printer. 
One major advantage is that its cartridge can be refilled just by 
removing a plug and pouring in the toner. See here:-

  I purchased the refill on-line from the above website for £22 ($40).

There are drivers available for OS X on the Samsung website.

The only criticism I have is that some PDF's take quite a long time to 
start printing, probably because the printer doesn't have a great deal 
of on-board memory.

All-in-all, I think it's a good low-cost printer.

Regards,

Alastair.
