Need of laser printer Info

I am running windows 7, and Vista and XP on my home network. I am looking for a laser printer that will print from all 3 system. I am looking for a B & W laser printer. I am tired of the expensive ink jet ink that get 100 pages if that much.
anyone have ideas on a fairly descent Laser printer
Thanks

This question would make more sense if you specified a price range, if you needed duplexing, etc.

Having said all that...

John,
Don't know anything about Samsung as I only have an Old HP(workhorse) and Canon(All In One) and both are inkjets. Sorry!

I would not buy a Samsung printer.

The OS shouldn't be much of a factor, as any laser printer you buy new will handle all three. Just go to your local Staples, Best Buy, etc and check out their models, features, and pricing. Ask to print some test pages to check out the quality, then compare the costs of replacement toner.

Good advice by DeaconFrost!

You also want to inquire on their return policy and extended warranties if they have them
I know Best Buy has a 15% return to stock policy.
Check Sam's Club or Costco (This is a must) great no questions asked to return for up to 30-90days!!!

Hi John
Be helpful if we knew what your main use is for a printer. Are you looking to print high quality photos, CD/DVD direct discs, high volumn b/w documents or what?

Newegg.com - Computer Hardware,Printers & Scanners,Printer - Laser Printers,Monochrome,Workgroup

Lemur Why do you not like the Samsung brand?? I just you a printer just to print info of stuff around the home No big print jobs Ink jet are just Lexmark controls to much of the ink use as It has to reprime itself, paper jam your printer need to print an alinement and test pattern and to install the driver have to install their 120 MB studio just to get the driver install 55 dollars to replace the ink ever 30 to 50 days just to print a 100 pages.

If you check I think you will find we share first names also!
Back to printers. Any current Epson printer will suit. I have used Epson for many years without a problem. I use compatible cartridges from a well established company in he UK and find that very economical! A laser printer will give you sightly better quality but it is a bit of a lump to forkout for a new cartridge when it becomes necessary.

My Main use for this printer is just to do Misc Printing of information Household use Print what ever I want

Even though we suggested other printer's it all boils down to what you want and what you like about the printer.
Glad you found a printer that fits YOUR needs. Have fun and have a great week-end!
