Comments on: Print on the cheap with ultra-compact HP LaserJet P1005, $50

Newegg is selling this printer for less than half the list price, though you will have to pony up $10 for shipping.

I was able to use a free shipping code EMCAHCKBC that I got in their e-mail newletter. I had to add the printer to my cart first, then add the printer-toner combo, apply the free shipping code, confirm it worked, remove the printer-toner combo, and the free shipping code still applies. There you go... free shipping!

I purchased one yesterday. I have never had a laser printer at home, but this seems like a great deal. I also have no problem paying 50.00 for a toner cartridge if it can print 1500 pages.

My family buys its printers from Costco because they sell ink to printers they carry. You can control to cost of ink by doing a little research before buying a printer.; Like this Reply to this comment
