Hi, Laser printers tend to last almost forever with low use. The toner is a powder, not a liquid like ink jet printers. I have a Lexmark CS410 series laser printer and I'm still on the original toner from about three years ago. I use it on my home network both on my various Macs and through AirPrint for iPad and iPhone. HP are also great printers and you would have good luck with it.

This just might be what I want. Couple things I am curious about is, will the toner remain viable with low usage? And hwo many pages can it print before the toner needs replacing? Was setting up for envelops easy? Thanks for sharing this. >From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited in the past. What if it were true?
