Has anyone used Kyocera or Lexmark laser printers? I was considering buying a laser printer and HP was on the bottom of my list to consider. Thanks to their act

I have a Kyocera P5021cdn, I can't complain but I am not a power user, it has been there for a bit over than one year, I wanted a "cheap"/network printer with a perceive good quality.

  Thanks mate. I'm in Australia and have seen these products online. Most of of them have good reviews. Could I bother you with a few more questions? 1. Have you replaced the toner yet? Does it accept non-brand toners (like the ones from InkStation?)? 2. Does the printer come with a full toner? As it with 100% capacity or does it only come with 20 to 30% like some of the other brands? 3. Being a colour printer, does it work only with the black toner if don't need colour prints? Thank you!

    Hello, I haven't replaced the toner yet, Kyocera doesn't recommend to use 3rd party one. I am not sure if I will go with original one as the one from my printer was supposed to be rate for 1200 pages, but the black has 35% ink left after printing 220 "black" pages, and CMY@65% after 350 full color pages. Supposedly, it could print with only the black toner through a setting, but people online complained they couldn't. I think I will try the 3rd party toner, it's basically 80CHF per toner, 350CHF to replace the 4 of them, which would be over the cost of the printer itself, but they are rated for 2200 pages vs 1200 for included one. Finally, I am a bit wary on the long term support from the manufacturer, my printer is not listed anymore on their website, nor their official compatible toner.

      Thank you for the reply. Yes, I'm a bit worried about long term support from them too.

Dell printers were rebranded Lexmark, and I liked them 5+ years ago.
