Hello Geeks,
I have a HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer bought for 450$ that i didn't use that much "less than 50p was printed", I don't need it anymore so i decided to sell it and it was listed in "sell your stuff" for 200$ in January 2013, long story short that printer was sitting on a desk for too long "+2yrs" and when i went to check toners levels i was shocked that it doesn't work properly !
Pages was printed with strange lines and things, i don't have any experience with laser printers so with some googling i've discovered that a laser toner has a wiper blade that could go bad if the toner was installed for a long time without usage and that i had to uninstall the toners long time ago.. ah ok then
I decided not to care about that since the problem is a toner related witch could be simply replaced, i was sure that the black toner went bad but i wasn't sure about the other ones, so i've dropped the price to 100$ and give a note that it requires new toners.
I got a message from someone that i'm asking too much and the 4 toners costs 420$ !
WTH?? I've searched on PcAndParts but didn't find them so i've dropped them a message and am waiting for reply, searched Microcity and BAAM 320 bucks !!
Really? went to Amazon and found that original HP toners are really expensive (+70$ per toner), but there are other options like the GlobalToners's replacement for 96$ (all 4 toners), and a generic compatible pack for 46$ (all 4 toners).
Well, here's my questions:
- Where to find those cheap replacements in Lebanon ?
- Some googling reveals that those bad wiper blades are replaceable and toners are repairable, do we have such service here in Lebanon ?
- Are those laser toners "original & generics" refillable like the inkjets ?
- How much should i ask for this printer ?
P.S toners are HP 124A (Q6000A / Q6001A / Q6002A / Q6003A)
