Any dealer got the Samsung ML-1510 in stock for £50?

A few months after I thought all stocks of the ML-1510 had run out,
it reappeared in some shops (like Staples). Again the printer with
cartridge was £50.

Well here I am hoping that I can still get one at that price. Does
any one know of anywhere still doing the Samsung ML-1510 printer?

Thanks!


Just seen a few in my *local* Staples for £50

The ML-1520 may be better a printer than the ML-1510 but in terms of
cost of ownership the ML-1520 is far more expensive than the not-so-
different ML-1510.

Refill toner for the ML-1520 is very hard (impossible?) to locate.
OTOH refill toner for the ML-1510 is plentiful and relatively cheap.

Consumable Cafe says you can't refill the Ml-1520 but Refill Toner
say you can. See this thread http://snipurl.com/fzah

I bought refill toner for the ML-1520 from consumable cafe at the same time
I bought my ML-1520 printer back in January. After reading the beginning of
this thread and someone pointing out you couldn't get toner for the ML-1520,
I revisited consumablecafe to see a Warning stating that toner wasn't
available in the UK yet for the ML-1520.

So I fired off an email to them asking why they had sold me toner for the
ML-1520 back in January when they now had a Warning on the very product they
sold me (ML1510 / ML1710).

They replied:
Now you've opened up a bag of worms!! Our ML1510 Samsung toner is being used
quite happily by quite a few customers who has tested it without any
problems on their ML1520 printers which was a HUGE surprise to me as the
ML1520 is simply a completely different type of toner however I suspect
Samsung failed to stop the lower grade toner from being used as no-one is
reporting any problems using it! I have checked with the toner manufacturer
who have since told me other companies are happily selling the ML1510 toner
as ML1520 toner so I suspect various tests have proven it not to damage the
printer or drum so although my official stance is that we don't sell toner
for the ML1520 I can safely say many of our customers are using the cheaper
ML1510 without any problems.

Sounds like Samsung could have been using scare tactics with the 1520's,
to try and dissuade people from refilling them. They probably use the
same toner as the 1510's.

Seems as if the 1520 can both old
(1510 style and also 1710, 1750, etc)
as well as new
(1520 polyester style).


Now the question is ... who was selling Samsung ML-1520 cheaply.

ISTR I recently saw 1520's for well under £50. Where was that?
