I'm looking to buy a laser printer for my university studies (printing notes and reports and whatnot) and have run out of ink on my HP 1200 series all in one. Rather than drop 80$ CAD on new cartridges, I decided to make the switch to laser.

My question is then: which black and white laser printer is going to give me decent quality with minimum cost down the road. I'm willing to spend more up front to save on toner later. I'm looking at HP printers as they seem fairly cheap, but is that just a front?
