3tb drive for 1399

What's that printer like?

Nice that it's wireless and can scan, even in these paperless digital days I need to print every so often, maybe 5-10 pages a month but only other option is to take a memory stick to a Postnet or similar which is a pita.

The ink probably costs like R100k a litre

Wonder if you can refill the cartridges or use generic chipped cartridges?

Get the pantum 6500nw from esquire. It is 800 and scans. Also wifi. Toner not ink and page 2 of the manual shows you how to fill their toner with generics

Dunno where theyre from but I'm happy with it. Has iOS and Android apps for direct print and scan. Also makes for a handy copier

I wouldn't advise going the Pantum route. My mom has a Pantum printer and its a nightmare to set up wireless printing, I gave up after a few hours of trying. Stick with well known brands like HP, Canon, Epson, etc...

Colour would be nice but not vital.

Was just wondering because the printer he recommended was a mono laser printer.

Go to your local generic shop and ask them how much for a bottle of toner - probably less than 200.

YMMV but it took me all of 5 minutes to get it hooked up via wifi to my network. Used the USB connection and the windoze software.
