Dell 1230c Color Laser Printer for $99.
Laser printers have become very popular now that the prices have been dropping over the last year or so.
Inkjet printers are generally priced much lower than a laser, but the price per page printed is much lower with a laser printer. The only obstical to many home uses to switching to a laser printer has been the issue with being able to print in color.
Monochrome laser printers have been priced below $100 for a while, but this is one of the first color laser printers in that price range.
The Dell 1230c is a basic color laser printer that can printer 17 pages per minute in monochrome and 4 pages per minute in color. Making it a perfect printer for a small office for home.

Having a hard time finding toner cartridges for Dell 1230C/1235cn color lasers. Even Dell is having problems (delay) sending me a black cartridge. Recycled cartridges have not yet hit the market. I believe I saw a listing for compatible cartridges of another printer brand (not recycled, but new) but now can’t find it. Prices were significantly lower than Dell brand. I see many people question if the Samsung CLP-300 series (i.e., CLP-315) cartridges from their CLP-300 series (i.e., CLP-315) will work in the Dells, but have never seen a definitive answer affirming they will work.

The samsungs won’t work.
I just tried. I bought the Canon for $30.00 off Amazon, it’s EXACTLY THE SAME CARTRIDGE as DELL. However, it looks like DELL has chipped theirs differently to lock theirs into DELL and Charge $25.00 more per cartridge.
DUDE YOU GETTING RIPPED OFF …I mean DELL
