Doesnt have to be the very cheapest but good b&w for text and NO page
curling

and a draw for the paper like proper printers ;)

and o/p not to fall out of a slot but rest on top

the cheap brothers look ok

instead of cheap say not dear - £100 - £150 ?

any ideas folks ?

And they work great.

Brother seems to own this market.

Got a Brother HL-2040 for US $69 (after rebate, at Staples office supply
here in the US) for my father-in-law. Tiny but with drawer ... I'm sure
you could find it at a decent price in UK as well.

Can you tell us more about the Samsung? They look interesting and
someone a few messages ago was interested in the Samsung SCX-4200
(multifunction) in particular. I only have experience with the HP line
and I am interested in alternatives.

I'm very happy with a HP LaserJet 1020 I bought off Newegg ($110) not too
long ago.

Seems like everywhere is flooded with 1020's right now. I see them locally
for ~$140+ everywhere.

I compared the HP with the equivalent cheapies from Brother and Samsung.
Reviews put one or the other slightly above the HP, but if you read from
people who had them longer than just for a review -- and actually use
them -- the HP came out ahead.

I mainly just print text; bland text such as documentations and tables. I
don't print that often, but when I do it is hundreds of pages at a time.
Laser was definetly the way to go. I'm pleased with it as it prints my
modest text as nicely as any other laser printer; cheap or expensive.
Figure if I ever get the bug to start printing out pictures from my digital
camera, I'll just get one of those little Epson PictureMate Deluxe "picture
makers". They are remarkable, in my eyes as good as any photos printed from
a lab. Cheap too...
