Comments
Price - around Rs 7500
You can print ~3000 pages with Rs 450 original canon black ink + quality is very good for BW printing on pixma....
If you are damn sure about laser, then HP 1020 Plus hand down !
P.S. - If you are buying from amazon, make sure the seller is Appario or Virtual-Sales, coz other sellers mostly cheat by supplying defective products... these two are only hassle free genuine sellers...
It was my first printer, don't know about others.
My advice is go for laser printer essentially.
can someone tell about refilling process of laser printers, can it be bought online for non-Delhi aspirants ?
Last longer than ink jet.
Search in your local market, or printing shops. They will do it for you.
You can do odd - even printing. If want to use both side of the page.
Same here!
It prints for like 2000 pages.. But ink refill cost me 450Rs here (NOT Delhi)
Anyhow I too feel LBP 2900B is best!
Is the cartridge provided in canon lbp2900 introductory as mentioned for HP 1020 (mentioned somewhere includes introductory cartridge with only half ink, need to buy new).
No paper jamming in ordinary case. Paper can get jammed when power goes off while paper is "half in and half out". Even then paper can be pulled back (and not forward) after removing cartridge. No big issues. (Not expert just my experience)
Don't know about linux, installation can be done by downloading software online, so anyone can check.
Refilling is easily done at any such printer selling/repairing shop. I think we should not try refill it on our own.
Odd Even pages printing effectively compensates both side printing requirement.

Please someone shed some insights here.
Although camscanner mobile app may be used for scanning but quality will be just OK.
Buy printers within range of Rs 10k max. Even 8k max limit is fine.
Civil service just a good job; Salary source: Tax paying public."
1.5 year back range was 7k.

Look for discount period if online shopping is only option.
Ricoh SP 111SU dekh lo.. If money is concern. Ye bhi fast hai aur UPSC ke preparation phase tak more than OK hoga use karana.
Aur ek baat idhar kuch months se price kaafi fluctuating dikha rha online pe. Otherwise you will get lot of options within 8-9k range.
Aur agar budget 10 k hai to go with Epson inktank models. These are not laser printers but cost of printing and filling inks will be very very less.
Laser printer me cartridge jabardasti change karana hota hai because they are programmed and made like so by all companies. Means pros n cons sab hai.
Agar main 8-9k kharch karata to inktank leta jarur.
Look for this link:

Initially cartridge will be half filled almost for every brand. And Ricoh will give you 1000 pages. Mujhe 970 around print hua.
80 gm refill toner will print 2000 pages officially and 1950 really. It costs around 600.

Other brand which may be used will cost 250-300 Rs.
