Disposable Printers

My wife and I have a Samsung ML-2510 laser printer at home. It's a nice little printer--definitely not high volume, but for the limited printing we do at home, it's been great. Well, recently, the toner has started to fade. No big deal, it just needs a new cartridge. So I go on-line to order a new cartridge, and I discover this deal to purchase a new printer for $59.99. How much for a new toner? $77.

Reminds me of my slightly too-wealthy, slightly senile grandmother, who one day was told by her mechanic that she needed to have her tires replaced. After politely declining, she drove across the street and bought a Caddy.

Of course, the tires wouldn't have been more than the car itself, not by a long shot, so that makes it all the more crazy. Yours is definitely the wiser of the two choices.
