Our old reliable HP4 is starting to show signs of wear and I am looking at a
replacement. With the HP4 it was nice because, due to the huge volumes of
them sold, high capacity, reasonably priced, replacement toner was readily
available from many sources.

I see printers have advanced greatly since the HP4 and are much faster now.
I want to make sure that I don't get a printer that has a high cost per page
for toner. It also needs to be reliable so that I am not paying for repairs
and down time.

Does any one particular manufacture stand out as having products that tend
to have lower operating costs due to readily available, high capacity toner
(OEM or Non-OEM)? Have manufactures segmented their products so that each
of their various models have a dedicated toner or is there a manufacture
that uses the same cartridges in various printer models for several years?
I ask this since it seems that toner would be available at a better price
than some specialty cartridge.

Is there a particular brand and model that you can give a personal
recommendation on? An Ethernet enabled printer would be ideal but not
critical. Faster is more desirable than slower.

Thanks for your thoughts.
