The printer is just like an Ak- 47 old in design but works very reliably has no problems, never got stuck or stopped printing in my 5 years of use and I use it for daily 5-10 prints. The cartridge gives a good 1600-2000 pages depending what you print but nevertheless a good amount, if you want to take a huge number of prints and don't require colour then it is best for that use. The paper handling is very good can accept a good amount of different paper sizes like letter size and postcard size to all the way to a3. The printer uses a toner cartridge which can be easily swapped for another one just like you change the refill of pen but a different cartridge cost too much you can go for a refill of the toner which is way cheaper, but doing this will void you warranty if you do in warranty period ( but trust me nothing happens to this printer under any circumstances and if something happens you can get it repaired very easily and at cheap) . The printing speed is moderate not the best but not painfully slow and one can get use to it.
So on conclusion buy this printer you want something that is reliable and cheap on the day to day working cost.
