laser printer cartridge refill
Does a laser printer need “refills”?

I’m planning on investing in a new printer as the old one cannot print properly. I know laser printers are the best at quality printing so would like to invest in one.

I’ve been using ink-jet printers all my life and hated how often I need to replace cartridges and to put up with blocked nozzles on the printer head.

What are the long term costs of owning a laser printer?

Do I need to “refill” a laser “cartridge” like those ink-jet one?

How often would it last and would it deteriorate even if I don’t use it again like those ink-jet printers?

Any other things I need to know about them with reference to ink-jet?

Thanks a bunch.
(Best answer gets full stars!)

Sorry didn’t clarify what type of laser printer.
I’m looking at mono-laser for home use. Would be printing the odd letter 99% of the time.

For domestic use I think it only worthwhile to buy a black and white laser printer if you want to print lots of letters or back and white documents. I’ve had an HP laserjet 1000 printer since about 2003. It still has its original cartridge. I don’t think they “go off” like inkjet cartridges do because they contain powder rather than liquid ink. You can get colour laser printers, but they need four separate cartridges, which cost quite a bit to replace even though they do last a long time. For printing photos a good inkjet printer is much beter than a laser printer.
