HP LaserJet 1020 Printer (Q5911A) Specifications and Warranty The toner cartridge should print twice as many pages as the ink in than your bf's ink jet printer. Toner cartridge page count is rated at 2,000 but expect 1,600. About the printer, I have never worked on any. Too new, low priced printers people usually don't repair. It should be a good printer. The toner cartridges are good but they skimped on the amount of tone put into them. There is a 12X tone that prints over 3,000 pages.
Quote: I think it's $99
Some places sell refurbished models. Most of the time they are new printers but with a shorter warranty. Some are actual warranty returns that have been repaired.
Some printers have partially filled toner cartridges with a new machine. Cartridges ending with the letter "A" are standard cartridges. If they end with an "X" they have about 30% more toner in them. If they end with a "G" they are half full compared to an "A" cartridge.
The printers I work with have toner cartridges that print 6,000 (98A $60 for a good rebuilt) to 20,000 (81X $125 for a good rebuilt cartridge) pages per cartridge.
This LJ-1020 takes a Q2612A (12A) and you can find good rebuilt cartridges for $40 to $50, which is .02 to .025 cents a page. The 98A's are .01 cent a page and the 81X's cost .00625 cents per page.
A good used LJ-2100 is also a very good printer. It takes a 96A toner and prints 4,500 pages per cartridge and they sell for $60 for a good rebuilt one.
One hang up or benefit with the LJ-1020 has a USB port. Make sure your computer has a USB port. Some older computers only have a parallel printer port/LPT1, that big wide thing we talked about in your LJ-4L printer. (toner cartridge 74A 3,500 pages)
Lil I saw you this afternoon at Costco. You were singing using a karaoke device that has a computer in it. The computer rates how well you sing and scores you something like that " TV program, “American Idol. You sang very well, nice voice, everyone applauded when you were finished singing. The karaoke machine rated you a pro. Any way it was nice to see you. Sorry I did not say anything to you. Nice hair BTW.
