Konica Minolta magicolor 1690MF Multifunction Color Laser Printer $179
 

I really want to purchase this, and I have been watching the price of this for a long time (its been going down slowly) but i can't pull the trigger due to mixed reviews. I'd rather order it from amazon with their great return policy, but their price is much higher.

I also been looking at the OKI MC160 for around the same price....

I am comparing both models exactly and yet could not decide to buy any of them , while not making my mind im issed 159$ on Oki and 169$ on Minolta. HP is far expensive from both of them. JR and Buy.com dont accept the printer return as soon as toner is open. reviews are making me hesitate to pull the trigger also

Is there any inexpensive but good toner for this MFP? What is the cost on toner?

I've seen the HP laserjet top shot for 199 from time to time. not the best scanner printer, but HP printers are usually superior!

Toner is the biggest cost, go to amazon, ebay and look....sometimes you can get refurb toner pretty reasonable, but i have heard issues with the chip

this printer is garbage!! you cant use re manufactured cartridges and the scanner is horrible. i tried putting 10 pages to copy and it kept getting jammed. buy an HP or canon copier.
