Managed to grab a couple laser printers from the JW Computers Blacktown branch - the Ricoh SP201NW for $49, as well as the SPC250DN for $85.
The cheaper one is B&W, the other is colour.
They also have a few other Ricoh models reduced, looks like all old stock but still worth the money for a decent laser printer IMO.
Their website is advertising a little higher cost for this product, not sure if its only the Blacktown branch or not.
How much to the cartridges cost, are there any cheap ones around
They had some in stock for $75 iirc. The genuine ones are more expensive though
Edit: it's laser, so they dont take ink cartridges - only toner
The c250dn is a great printer. I've been using mine all year ($99 shipped off ozbargain), and have just used up the original toner. I bought a toner refill kit on eBay and it was really easy to refill. G2g for another year of printing.
You could buy 2 printers, for the toner and still be better off. At this price the whole printer is close to even the refill kit costs.
nice thanks mate
