I have a Brother HL-2250DN monochrome laser printer. I have already had to replace the toner once a couple of years ago when I used an original but now it seems too expensive.
Has anyone got experience of using compatible toners like this for instance? Are they liable to clog up the workings or can they be just as good as originals?

I've never bothered with the manufacturers brand of toner - but I've only got a cheap printer (about £100). I always use compatible toners, especially as the cartridge includes the drum.

Same here, although I have a Lexmark colour, no problems using compatible. The savings add up!

Thanks
I'll give the compatible idea a go.
Does anyone have any recommendations of a supplier?

Thanks @penfold.
Although for my particular printer the cartridge is much more expensive than the one in my OP.

A genuine set of toners for my HP CP2025dn is around £300 on that site, and compatibles, £110........
But that said, I print so infrequently (the reason I got a laser, as they don't have ink that dries up when unused) that I've made my toner last for quite a long time, can't check the levels at the moment as the printer is powered off, but I'd say I've got plenty left in there...
But that said, to get two of the current toners in there, I just bought another, but faulty, printer (first one, £36, 2nd one, er, £36!!!) which had nearly-full genuine HP toner cartridges fitted, and still have a Black & Cyan each spare from that one sat in the drawer in an antistatic bag, so saved a heck of a lo of money, and I have a load of spare parts if I need to repair the printer...
