Samsung CLP-315 Laser Printer for $89.99 Shipped

Great printer for price...but....

There are no generic cartridges available for this printer and no refill kits that will work. Samsung built in a chip in each cartridge. If one color gets low, the printer knows. It will ultimately lock the cartridge out, forcing you to buy and original Samsung Cartridge, where a full set is more expensive than this entire printer. But the quality is excellent and the profile is a decent size. You have limitations with this printer. But you can get laser quality color printing at an affordable price....just don't expect a cheap option for toner. There is none.
 
There are reset chips and toner refill kits for this printer available on ebay. Looks like the reset chip involves dis-assembly and swapping out the original chip for the modified one, claim is no soldering. A search on ebay for "Samsung CLP-315 refill" brings up a lot of hits. You order directly from dealers in China.

Also a Google search brings up message boards where people discuss the refill chip. Chip seems to go for ~ $30, kit ~ $75.

Of course, its probable more cost effective to just trash the printer when toner runs out and get a new one.
