advise on replacement printer needed

2006-02-03 by dhar2kma

Hello y'all;
I have been manufacturing some pcb's using the toner transfer method 
very succesfully, but my old Epson Action Laser 1500 has finally gone 
belly up. Ran out of toner and also the black rubber roller opposite 
to the drum image is pretty busted. I did refill the toner drum but I 
suspect NOT all toners are alike, let alone I don't foresee myself 
repairing this printer anytime soon. Perhaps I could cannibalize it 
and extract the fuser mechanism when the refilled toner runs out.  I'm 
sure this question has been 
asked and answered many times so I apologize in advance if this gets 
repeated,  Any suggestions on a cheap - new- laser printer? I've been 
considering using the samsung ml2010 since it is cheap and the 
replacement toner cartridge, well I could buy 3 of them versus one of 
the old epson printer ( $180 each ! ).  Thanks.  Mariano.
