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

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

top up a bit and go for Brother DCP-1610w......also can be photostat machine...
*
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.

cheap one like FX 199 bucks haven't even finish print 2000 pages drum edi died; all black pages, printer feed always jam n become shredder when manual dislodge.

old brother hl-1430 - 400 bucks one printed 14k pages n finally died. ok lah.

cannot buy too cheap.. the printer made from crap quality design
*
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 ?

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.

Bought from Tetrix via their Shopee as they listed a lot of Brother printers

Their prices similar to Brother malaysia website.

can give a link , i didn't see the printer as you mention
how much you bought ?
QUOTE(idoblu @ Jan 27 2021, 12:26 PM)
im using Canon LBP6030w
- wireless
- cartridge comes together with drum
- can use compatible toner - only RM25
- dunno can refill toner yourself or not but can buy 3rd party ones for RM25 so why bother?
- printer price about RM399
*
Rm399 over budget for just a laser printer but what is the major different between bother and canon brand ?

Sold out , maybe you can pm the shop to restock it.When did you bought ?

It's not. Most brother printer the toner and drum is separate. Pantum low end printer is toner drum together
Google play got Pantum app.
*
So , most low end printer are drum+toner together ?

Google play giving Low star from review , only a few model works.

good thread. buying one for my kids as well.

i noticed, most of the ones you guys suggested are for black n white usage only right?

anything with color printing as well?
*
Color printer is expensive , get ready over 1k.Color printer doesn't look too good on laser printer if you plan to print photo.
Ink printer 1-2k was way better for color if to compare sub 1-2k color laser printer.
I had been asking for printer review but i really can't find any online guide , the most you can get is from https://www.rtings.com/printer/reviews

It has wifi direct tho....

Based on the manual online
*
Most printer with the 'W' means wireless.Wifi direct means can print through HP without need to go through router.
I assume the parts inside are the same with or without wifi.3k is quite a lot already and still running.
