Hello everyone, any idea as to the cost of the toners? How many toners am I supposed to change on this printer (I do not have experience with color p.

Howdy Ram, The name brand black toner is around $90 on Amazon, and the color toners are $60 or so. I believe this one is like all other color laser printers, there's a low toner message for each cartridge and you'd replace them usually one at a time as they run out. Hope this helps.

Hi Sharon, I've bought 3 of these kits with 4 each refills. I think the toner will probably cover more than 4,000 copies, but the chips that come with it only allow you to get 4,000 per refill. You could probably do a partial refill, but will have to get replacement chips. Refilling is pretty easy, but can be messy - so you may want to do it outside. I've saved a ton of money with these though and haven't had any toner quality problems. Would definitely buy again.

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

inkjetsuperstore dot com has OEM toner for this for $34+5 shipping - which comes out to 1.95 cents per page. Couldn't find a higher yield cartridge for this model printer. 2k is pretty low.

The short answer is I don't know. I have downloaded the manuals and looked through them. The don't go into any real detail on the printing capability. It seems to me you should use a color paper to accomplish what you want rather than try to change the color of the paper with toner. Perhaps I don't understand what you are trying to do. The one I have (8850) prints fine.

I ordered and mine was OEM. Some comments stated they weren't OEM, but that was awhile ago. I got a Brother Brand Toner... I think the price is low because there's no overhead in selling in a store, etc. It's just a toner so it can't possible cost them that much to manufacuter. No idea but it was much much less than in stores.

Toner (typical available at Office Supply) is 3000 pages. Ext Life is 8000. Drum says at 25000. Printer will tell you to change toner before you need to. Printer will also tell you to "Change Drum Soon" and when you do, will still tell you same thing even when going thru resets, etc. I have not been a big fan of my printer, but it has all the features I need that others just aren't offering (it is all small things, doesn't keep me from getting more work done--just maybe have to do a "work around" here or there.) The competition, well...they aren't competition--just look at their reviews for comprable features.

Similar printer : HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw - had 2 sets, yellow was bad in the 1st one... blue was bad in the 2nd one. put in OEM and everything was fine. Not worth the headache.

Depends on how much you print. Definitely alot longer than a bubblejet. Has three colour toner cartridges, plus one black. Shop around and you can find them for about 60 bucks each. Have owned mine for about 10 months. Have replaced the black toner once. Only print about 200 pages a month, mostly monotone.

I would download the instruction manual from the HP website, but to go ahead and change the toner: Look at the front where the completed sheets come out. There is an indentation in the deck of the machine. Pull that toward you and the 'front door' opens. There is a drawer indicated by a blue handle. Pulling that out will expose the 4 toner cartridges. One thought relates to my last HP color laser. When the read out says the cartridge is empty, there may be an option to continue to print as HP reports toner levels in their favor and there is probably a lot still left. If you note that the colors are getting weak, however, then change quickly as running it without toner is not good for the printer.

I have not had any issues with the toner. I have not replaced my yellow cartridge yet. Clean copies with all the other colors. I would get it replaced.

I'm sure we paid less than $300 when we purchased so look around for deals. Adorama has the best deal on toner for it.

the drum needs replacement just like the toner. the only thing is that the toner runs out faster than the drum. i said the same when my printer started asking me to change it soon.. i ignored it and thats when i started seeing lines and the papers not printing correctly. so give it time before you start to see the lines and fading.. there like your car tires. dont last for ever..lol.. hope this helped..

There is toner included. But not full size toners. I have been using mine for a few weeks and still have 80 something percent of most colors (3 color 1 black)

it's been quite a while, but i somewhat remember a toner included. it worked perfect and at least 3 months worth. i checked my history and sure enoughi ordered a new toner 3 months after buying the printer.

I would say no. If I go to change a toner, it knows if one is missing, and it wont print until one is put in it, and the chip on the toner tells the printer its status. on the other hand, you could simply turn off the color printing part thru its printer driver, and print just B&W, and choose color just when you want it. I am happy with mine. we have HP and Konica Minolta's at work, and this printer prints, and looks every bit as quality as the big business models do. In fact, sometimes I print from home and take it in, and no one can tell, so I don't tell.... spreadsheets, charts, graphs, digital pictures, screen shots, power point, Visio, its all A+!
