Toner is only part of the problem, price the HP 2605n, then price the 
toner cartridges, AND note that while the Imaging Drum is good for 
20,000 copies, if you print in colour, it's only good for 5000.  So 
after 2 1/2 sets of colour cartridges, you have to replace the drum. 
I'm not sure, but I suspect at that point it might be cheaper to buy 
a new printer after you run the 2nd set of cartridges through it.
