- As of 27/10/2016 it has a major toner leak on any page it prints out and needs a serious clean. It is however sharp and legible but you get Magenta over the whole page.

The price per page to print with this printer is currently as follows

=Recycling cartridges=
 
Please don't thrown them in the bin, we have now a simple process for this:
 
- use the already printed postage-paid forms you'll find on the office file shelf, under the sticker called "Recycling forms" (in the main room, on the left of Tesla)
 
- Use the new toner's box to recycle the old one and stick the postage-paid form on it. Then drop it to the post office
 
- Alternatively you can print your own forms on [https://h30248.www3.hp.com/recycle/ereturns/ordermaterials-cs.asp?__cc=gb&__la=en&segment=ho&focus=IJ| HP recycle's site here].

Genuine HP toner cartridges are somewhat expensive, so use "remanufactured" ones instead. [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Remanufactured-Replacement-Q5950A-1A-2A-Cyan/dp/B077RYFPHC/ heres some on Amazon that have been proven to work.] The printer will complain about non-genuine toner, but prints as normal.
