A mono laser printer I bet you could get for less than £100 and black toner is not crazy expensive, I think the one for my machine is about £30 but you get gazillions of pages from one.

The Brother I linked to turned up today a day early. £99.95 it's gone up since yesterday. T
oners £24.72 + Vat for 12000 page or Genuine Brothers £54.93 + Vat for 12000 page. It'll be probably Brother as it'll last far longer than the elcheapo Ink did with the Epsom and still work out far cheaper.
Was set up in 10 Mins... Impressed upto now. Auto Double sided printing is like reinventing the wheel...

Also, if you want to , you can refill laser toner cartridges . they send you a thing like an electric soldering iron , but with a tubular end , and a rubber sealing grommet . All you do is heat the iron , hold it in a convenient place on the cartridge until it cuts a small circular hole , using the small funnel provided , fill with the toner . put plug in hole an' Bob's yer uncle - job done , and good for another few thousand prints .

Hopefully a mono laser...
Why people bother with Ink jets is beyond me...… It's like twin (or triple) monitors, or a telescopic loader, or autosteer. - you wonder what the hell you were fudging about at before...

Was fed up of having to clean the inkjet nozzles, every month when i did the VAT, so Bought a basic Brother copier, scanner mono printer DCP-L2530DW , 12 months ago. Think the reason I picked that one was it does double sided printing. It's priced now at around 80 pounds plus vat. Just replaced the toner cartridge for the first time for £20 plus vat.

got a brother 2710dw plus 2 ink cassettes . £110 . when it came i thought what have i done but its simple to set up and use . its the one jeepjeep was looking at
Mine came last weekend. I'm impressed so far. Simple to set up and use. Missus has hammered it today printing stuff for her degree used nearly a full ream of paper and it's hardly touched the toner.

Just bought a Canon MG3050 which is supposed to support wireless connection but after spending all night trying to connect it to my Mac computer I have thrown in the towel and accepted it is not going to happen on wireless connection and reverted to old fashioned cable. As for the Canon installation instructions there just garbage

Have you tried plugging it into your router and using it that way?
My HP won't do wireless while wired to a computer which was my problem when setting up.

Dont have a router its EE MiFi. Printer says its connected to the MiFi I just cannot get the Mac to communicate with the printer as it cannot find the printer. Its only when I gave up with wireless that I have hard wired it.

You wirelessly connect it to your router, not direct to pc. That being said, wifi printers especially multi fucntion have a mind of their own and are best connected with a wire or cat5.

My previous Kodak and current Canon all in ones work perfectly over wi-fi.

I've a Canon TS6150, tried to connect it wirelessly when it arrived, one computer recognised it straight away, one didn't for a start off but does do now, Canon app from the play store worked fine for the first few weeks, so at last I could print from my phone, but now it's decided it's not playing the game.
