Best home printer?

Depends on how much you use it.

In particular, taking into account ongoing costs (toner etc) which is the best printer to have in the home.

Tight as ever.

Live a little. Stop crying real tears evertime you print a page.

I recommend Brother printers.

I have a little HP Laserjet which I haven't put toner in for 2 years and I use it weekly, well surprised.

I have a brother MFC465, great bit of kit and the compatible cartridges are quite cheap.

HP Laserjet

Agreed with above. HP Laserjet 4, 4+ or 4M from ebay or other source.
ink costs about £50 - £70 a pop but lasts for years.

Go for HP. Quality kit. I had a Brother fail 2 days out of warranty. They said "tough luck". I'll not buy any more Brother kit. Presently I have 3 HP's and all are very good machines.

I bought a little Canon laser printer about 10 years ago.

It's never gone wrong and the toner lasts for years despite being used to print off endless school projects.

In the real office it's all HP kit apart from one Kyocera for colour.

You'd think Xerox would make a decent printer wouldn't you? From my experience anything below £500 must be made by some subsidiary as they are utter sh*t, they work better when all the superfluous bits have broken off... once you've found them all from numerous paper jams.

Lexmark have always been good mind.
