I had post many time at hardware forum asking to recommend a cheap Mono Laser Printer with refill toner but not much response from the thread.

I hope some here will help out since during MCO , many document need to be print.

Requirement

-Any brand print document and picture b/w ( 600-1200 dpi and above )
-Wireless Mono Laser Printer can print using android phone with wifi direct.
-Below RM300 , still can top up max rm350.
-Accept 3rd party toner
-Able to buy a refill toner RM30
-Having software to reset toner replacement with 3rd party toner or hard reset.
-Drum inside Toner , (I think most toner are include with drum together nowadays)
-Even if possible , I can open and refill manually with toner powder ( refill pot can be open )


I am not sure most can be cover , what is important is budget , wifi printing using android apps , can refill toner 3rd party.
Brother , HP , Xerox , canon any brand as long as fit the requirement.

thanks

Im using this one currently Brother HL-1210w Single Print Black & White Mono Wireless (WIFI) Laser Printer 1210/1210W/HL1210W, got wifi but not sure if can use 3rd party replacement. I printed from my iphone and mac/pc before

that one not top up a bit... its top up half price of the printer.

This^^^
Can use aftermarket for both toner & drums

Thanks , how long you had bought the printer ? usage pages printed ? How much for original toner ?
So you bought the same printer ? can use aftermarket toner ? are drums and toner separate ?

How well is the printing ? did you use aftermart toner ? how many pages you had printed ?

Thing is, wireless version is always more expensive. I'm using Canon one, aftermarket toner =rm20 plus.

+1 for Brother. The paper pick up device really lasts compared to the Samsung, Canon, and HP printers I had before.

I use pantum printer, cheap and wireless. Quite dependable also. Last month buy new toner online but leaks. the technician come to my house and give replacement free. For a 2 yr plus printer the level of support is good. Can print wirelessly from Android, iOS, windows and macbook

Printer used rarely, last time use ink jet but clogs all the time and I waste lots of money buying new ink.

I am looking at it but the top up is extra rm200.The price is between rm530-599.It is a bit high RM500.
Are you using ?
Actually can it use as scanning for colour photo to PC ?

Can use android to print wirelessly or wifi direct ? Because there is no router to connect to the printer.
Yes , I understand , too cheap may not be good , that is why i am asking for brand.
So among all brand , Brother laser Printer is better than others with after market toner.

Your old brother hl-1430 fail because of toner or drum or other error ?


I am quite confuse , why seller at online post with 1 year warranty while official website is 3 years carry in ?

Get 2nd hand from reseller

They can repair if broke later

The drum gonna die soon even with unlimited refill of toner.

My HL1430 (almost like microwave size) failed because drum failed (start to have streaks that cleaning the corona wiper doesn't help).
Starter (FOC) 3k = 3k
Own toner 6k x 2 = 12k
Actually more like toner failure (out of toner) after printing 15k.
Drum is rated at 20k but signs of wearing out (scratchy drum) already so I tot its not worth to try to squeeze the 5k drum life with another 6k toner (which costs 230).
IMO, for the 399 I paid and used at least 15k pages or more out of it, it was well spent.

So I bought that P205B toaster size elcheapo Fxxx Xerox for about 200 bucks.
Hopeless machine..paper jam every time print more than one page.
I still haven't finished the second 1k toner and its spitting full black pages for blank white A4 word document.

Wonder if I should just bin it or someone wants it as-is maybe can donasi away (but it is hopeless)

I would suggest for your case (high volume printing)
go with either of these. The paper tray size (250sheet) indicate it is ready to print many pages (high duty cycle) as compared to the hopeless toys without proper tray (just that ruler thingy).
The wifi function is separate (just plug in the printer to the router LAN port). You don't need an expensive router - cheapo one like this will work already ( https://shopee.com.my/Tenda-F3-300Mbps-high...6301.6854831334 )

Buy brother t5 series around 6xx ....3 years warranty, wifi, in tank build in

wired version, more than 3k pages


pantum = brother knockoff

That Brother HL-1210w is a good printer even aftermarket toner can print over 3k.Enough for regular usage.

I really don't know pantum also a printer , never heard before.SO pantum copy brother ? does pantum have aftermarket toner too ?
but I don't think the printer have any android devices apps for it.
