  • Answer:

    The printer comes with toner and a drum. As time passes, you'll have to periodically buy new toner cartridges, and eventually you may have to buy a new drum. However, lasers can print thousands of pages on just one toner cartridge, and even more on just one drum, so it still works out cheaper than other types of printers. The toner is the equivalent of ink. The drum is a part of the printer that deposits toner on the paper as it rolls over the drum. Toner runs out, and then you need a new cartridge to have more toner (just like ink). Drums wear out, and have to be replaced. Drums last a really long time, though.

I have 2 brother hl-2040 printers. I bought refill toner on ebay for $6 but you also need a $3 part called a reset gear in order to refill the toner. The printers have lasted several years and printed many thousands of pages. Not bad for about $50. I have never replaced the drum.
