Moved to Forum: Original Link (Price Error — please see this comment)

It pretty much says it all in the title. A laser printer for $9.75 delivered!
Laser printers were hundreds of dollars a few years ago!

Lanier is a subsidiary of Ricoh, a leading manufacturer of printers.
Deal includes 500 page black toner starter cartridge (standard cartridges are 1200 pages)
13 pages per minute
1200dpi x 600dpi
6.2kg

The printer also has a 3 year manufacturers warranty, however it says that it may be void if the printer exceeds it's rated machine life, whatever that means.

    Well played, I sign up for an account, and I don't get activation email, maybe when the deal is ended even.

    EDIT Finally came through, 40 of them lol, thanks OP

      how many times did you request an activation email?

    Lanier is no longer having been absorbed into Ricoh this year

    Toner is very expensive!

    Plus, you need a chip for toner reset.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/06/2014 - 09:38

      can't you refill with ink and a syringe?

        Toner isn't ink

          Apparently it can be done. I wonder how much bags/bottles of toner cost.

          Toner still isn't ink

          Did I claim that it was?

          Did you bother to click or at least read the URL I provided, or is it too burdensome for you to concentrate for more than 5 consecutive seconds?

          When some people say ink they really mean toner. It gets confusing.

        • CyberGenesys on 27/06/2014 - 11:06
          +5

          You claimed you can refill a toner based printer with ink.

          In answer to your original question, no you cannot refill with ink and a syringe. Hollykryten points it out, ink and toner are not the same thing. One is liquid one is a fine dust.

          Please don't assume people are idiots because you have used the wrong words to identify the item you are talking about.

          "Please don't assume people are idiots because you have used the wrong words to identify the item you are talking about."

          Yes, I originally made that mistake which was accepted when I provided the link describing the refilling of 'toner'.

          I'd ask you to please not assume that I'm an idiot by repeating that "toner isn't ink" when I had not refused to acknowledge the distinction in response to Hollykryten's comment. Why do you think that I would provide a link relating to the procedure for refilling toner if I had failed to recognise the distinction once corrected?

        • CyberGenesys on 27/06/2014 - 16:02
          +5

          1) you made a comment about refilling with ink
          2) you were informed that toner is not ink
          3) to which you reply "apparently it can be done"

          With those comments in mind I could only form the opinion that you were still trying to re-ink a laser printer.

          My original comment was a light hearted jest. I was not assuming you were an idiot (now I am less sure), and I apologise if that is how it was interpreted. Perhaps needed more winking ;)

    • hollykryten on 27/06/2014 - 10:56

      For me i just paid $35 delivered for 2 compatible 1500 page toner cartridges for my Brother DCP-1510 laser printer. $17.50 each isn't bad.

      Look on ebay if there's any cheap compatible toner cartridge for this Lanier SP100 printer.

  • GreenGuava on 27/06/2014 - 07:03

    I have a feeling this won't be honoured. I'm thinking this is a pricing glitch as it now shows up as $0.00 but you can still add it to your cart

  • barryquinn on 27/06/2014 - 07:04

    Be prepared for apology emails - typo.

  • dhie20 on 27/06/2014 - 07:20

    The cheapest toner in ebay is $89

    • ryang on 27/06/2014 - 09:17

      I wouldn't be surprised to see this honoured.. This particular printer was literally given away to suppliers in bulk - but they're terrible printers as well! The quality is bad, toner runs out really fast, I've had a heap of issues with them!

    Don't hold your breath on Centrecom honouring this blatant pricing error. Cancellation notification emails will come.

      They honoured the price on the $3 Corsair Raptor M30 Gaming Mouse and the $4.50 Gigabyte Osmium Mechanical Gaming Keyboard in last months sale so there is at least a chance they will honour this as well.

      • hollykryten on 27/06/2014 - 08:42

        Oh well best of luck. I'll pass since i already have 1 Brother multifunction laser and 2 HP multifunction inkjets.

    2 printers is $29.50 delivery to central Vic. Take's the edge off the deal. I still have a $9 dell inkjet sitting in the box anyway. I'll let the stock go to another OzB member who might get it for $9
