There should be a local place that refills and sells cartridges. I thought the office stores do it these days, too.

Walgreens does it as well.

Yes, Robinson, take the Major, the Robot, your wife and kids... but leave Will for my plea-- his education.

So I've seen a few "recommend me a color laser" but nothing that quite gives me what I need, though I might have glanced over something.

I currently have two printers, a crappy HP combo which I keep around just for the scanner on it () and a Samsung ML-2510 that I've refilled the toner on so many times it's about time to pick up a new cart.

Due to space concerns and the always-drying-out color carts in the HP printer, I want to consolidate and go wireless.

I want:

1) Laser
2) Color (I use it infrequently enough for ink to dry out and go wasted, but frequently enough where it's maddening when I can't use it)
3) Wireless
4) PREFERABLY a flatbed scanner, though I could live without it.

Is there anything suitable that can be had for less than $350 that hits all these points? Under $250? I'm probably reaching into crazy land here, I know.

EDIT:

I guess I should mention what I've looked at so far:

Samsung CLP-365W
Brother HL-3140CW

Both of them are in a price range I really like, but I'm really trying to find something near those prices that also can kill off my HP AIO inkjet entirely, meaning a flatbed scanner.

Is there an equivalent of this in the US?

That model was sold in the US, but is now discontinued.

Looks like the MFC-9325CW is pretty similar.

Ack. Maybe I can find a refurb of the older model, but that looks perfect. I'm used to Samsung toner refills. Are Brothers similar in ease of refilling?

My apologies if this isn't the right place for this problem, please let me know if there's a better place to ask.

My wife is opening a graphic design online store, and after a lot of online research and back and forth she decided to buy the Canon Pixma Pro Mark ii printer.

3 months after buying this printer - 2 of which spent at 2 different Canon authorized tech assistance shops - we're still to get a decent print out of this printer. There are several white dots scattered all over the images we print, and this happens in all paper except photo paper.

Consensus from Canon help support is that we're using the wrong kind of paper, but we tried it with so many types and the results are always the same. I find it very strange that a printer would only print decently on the brand paper.

I guess I have two questions: was our printer choice bad to begin with? (if so, could you recommend a better one?), or is there a good paper option I have overlooked so far?

A little more in-depth info: She's mainly printing fairly simple images on a thick type paper (250gsm) for business cards, wedding invites, stuff like that.

In case it matters, we live in Portugal, so our options are a bit limited - but I guess Amazon.co.uk is an option.

Thanks!
