I dent think that is true.

Just doing the Christmas cards - design the card in Paintshop Pro 2020, tell teh ing driver I want pictures on 200gsm glossy photo paper, and how many copies.
Load a stack of card, press print.
And it prints 'em. Hasn't been used for months, but off it goes.
No "Unrecognised cartridge", no missing lines, no press "clean" and try again a dozen sodding times.
It prints.
OK, the toner is expensive to buy, but I figure it's cheaper than the amount of paper ink I used to waste trying to get all nozzles on my inkjets working before I could get anything useful.
Now the labels: Avery L7163, mail merge, print, done.
All I have to do is fold 'em, sign 'em, get Herself to sign 'em, envelope 'em, stick a label on, and post 'em.

Tried to buy a SL-C480W last night, but they were out. It was good deal that came with a free extra black toner cartridge.

So is extra black some sort of reaaaally dark black that is blacker than normal black?

Yes - a Samsung C430W.
I'm down to under 20% Yellow toner already, mostly on two years worth of Christmas cards ... but the sample toner they ship with isn't full size.

How is the color quality on these laser printers? I have a lot of confidence in Samsung products' quality.

I print Christmas cards with it, so it's pretty good. Use good paper (goes without saying) and throw all inkjet paper in the bin - it's got a coating on it to prevent the ink "bleeding" which gums up the fuser roller of lasers.
It never loses lines (unlike inkjet), the print speed is in a different league, and raindrops don't "smudge" it. In my experience, it doesn't fade as badly as inkjet either.

Thanks! I remember the very first color laser printer that came out, but we are talking decades ago. It was made by Tektronics and cost around $100,000. No need to say it never caught on.

Yep, as mine is exactly the same it works equally well after long periods of not using it.
Mind you that I ran into a slight problem recently. I accidentally bought me some 300 g laser printing paper and the printer could not handle it: too thick for the paper feed mechanism. Nothing was damaged but the printer stopped with an error indication.

I've got an HP 2600n. Really old but solid printing. I didn't print anything on it for more than six months and then had to print a recipe (with colour pictures) for her indoors. It woke up from a deep sleep, hummed for a few moments then spat out perfect prints with no problems, then went back to sleep a few minutes later.
I love colour laser printers. All my old ink-jets (except a 15 year-old wide-carriage CANON that I never use but might one day) have gone to the tip. For the price of one print head/ink combo thingy for the ink-jet I can get a replacement cartridge for the 2600n on Fleabay. No brainer!

I'm thinking hard, but my mind went blank after lunch and now I'm just waiting for the day to be over...
So I give up, what's a semordnilap and "Less or red NAS" is code language for what? 
|

You're looking at it all the wrong way... literally!
|
|

Doh, how could I miss the Lessor Rednas 
I even read the words backwards, but didn't recognize them
As I said, I've mentally checked out after lunch

Well, the universe has to balance out from you having such a great day yesterday!

I am terrible at jokes. It's nothing bad. I just noticed I could make sense of your name read backwards.

I know what a palindrome is, but I've never heard of the semordnilap 
I somehow missed the Lessor Rednas, even though I actually did read it backwards

Ah, Martin Gardner. We need more of his kind.
