Can anyone recommend a Laser Printer that has exceptional quality but is relatively cheap to run?

what would you be printing? sometimes it more economical to get stuff printed elsewhere

Don't know I'm afraid, I'd stay clear of HP, the printers are cheap to buy but the ink costs so much you'll not want to refill it!
As far as I know the cheapest printers to run (including buying it) are epson ones. HTH

i asked this before christmas on wscc, advice was printers are cheap toner expensive, get best deal you can when toners run out skip it buy another. i've just got a dell colour laser, i'm impressed with it so far, got it hooked up to my wireless router so everyone in the house can use it. can't remember where i got it at mo but will check and let you know, i bought two sets of toner and got the printer free, cost £120 next day delivery, even delivered xmas eve! here

As I print mostly in B&W, I got a HP laserjet 1018 to go along with the inkjet colour.

£70, brilliant machine, excellent quality and so cheap to run as cartridges only £25 from Cartridge World.

Its actually cheaper to ditch the printer and by another than refilling it
