there.

 I bought a HP 2550N color laser printer about 2 years ago.  It came
complete 
with the drum and 4 toner cartridges for somewhere around $700.00.   It
has 
finally run out of black toner and the other three colors are getting 
critically low.  The drum is about due for replacement too.

Prices for replacement supplies at Staples and on the online sites I've 
found.

Drum about $170.00

Black toner $  80.00

Color toners around $90 each

Total approx.  $520.00

Does anyone know where to get a deal on Laser printer supplies?

I can buy a new printer in the model that replaced mine for less than
$500. 
Yep less than the supplies for mine.  I just don't know ..... YET.... if
the 
new one comes with full toner cartridges like this one did or if it just
has 
starter cartridges.

I don't print all that much.  Maybe 100 pages a week average.   The
laser is 
still a better deal than buying ink cartridges for an ink jet printer so
I 
guess I shouldn't complain.  But I still feel like I'm getting ripped
off.
