Hi experts here, i need to get a printer as my company is still WFH for the next two-three months. Mainly printing black and white A4 excel sheets. Any decent budget printer and ink catridges you would recommend? Im hoping to spend as little as possible as it is only for printing excel sheets for checking. Thanks!

Brough one to replace the old fujistu color laser, a simple wireless mono laser brother for less then 75$ niah (after coupon and discounts), 3rd party toner <$14 (1k page).

This one suitable for less then 1000page/mnth, if you print high volume then get those above 1k.

Brother and Fuji xerox are from the same manufacturer with identical specification and appearance.

Example : Fuji Xerox DocuPrint M225 DW and Brother DCP-L2540DW

Thank you so much hg2 and kimsix for your kind advice! I went down to best denki today and to my surprise, almost all the display sets for the $100ish printers had a out of stock sign, so popular wow. I was asking the salesperson on the new restock and he said a new shipment just came the morning for brother h1210 so i bought that for $98. All working well out of the box. Thanks so much again for all yout kind advice everyone! :) Happy weekend!

I'm currently using the Canon PIXMA MG3670 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer MG-3670 MG 3670 from Shopee a few weeks ago. Got it from Shopee Mall so don't have to worry about authenticity as it's from authorised seller. Price is around mid $100s and cfm can find affordable ink cartridge on Shopee/ Lazada. The printer works well with wifi and easy for simple home use.

I have limited space on my table. So I opted for the smallest aio laser printer I could find. HP LaserJet Pro MFP m28w , perfect for my low usage

To play (the) devil's advocate, since it's just for checking, maybe get a second monitor instead ? More environmental friendly.
