I print photos just fine from my Linux laptop on my laserjet, in colour, at the maximum resolution of my printer. I don't use special paper. I can print many of them without noticing the toner expenditure, and I print big.
What's your printer? What did it cost? What would it cost today? What does ink cost?
Please refute buhorojo.
Mine is an HP CP1515. At http://www.cnet.com/products/hp-color-laserjet-cp1515/specs/ it says it costs $155 (refurb?). I don't remember how much I paid for it, but more. Closer to 200€ and a bit, I think. Each toner replacement (includes the roller) costs locally 68€, and it takes 4. If you buy the 4 in one go, HP refunds 50€ (I'm unsure the offer is still valid). Each cartridge is rated for 1500 pages, but this is for densely printed pages. (the initial cartridges that came with the printer, complimentary, smaller capacity, lasted way longer than specified). That's a nominal 18 cents per page, less in practice. When I bought it, I think the figure was closer to 25 cents. http://www.pccomponentes.com/hp_cb541a_cian_cp1215_cp1515_cp1518.html?gclid=... Each (colour) refill cartridge of my previous ink printer (canon bjc 4000) was about 50€, and was good for a hundred pages of text and some figures, if printed in one go. If used sparely, a sheet one day, a dozen two weeks later, the figure was closer to 50 pages or even less. That's a nominal 50 cents per page, double that in practice. I'm astonished. You have to redo the calculation for the models you can buy now at your place. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
