Share a link for the non wireless version for £25 then please!
If it is, then it can be connected to the router with an ethernet and added to local network. Then it'll be wireless.

Can't you just plug it into your wireless router?

The £25 version was an Amazon lightning deal yesterday and it was USB only so couldn't be plugged into a router.

It depends on your router. Many have a USB port. It's a shame that people complaining about my ignorance are so unaware of their own .... :smile:
I think it's a fair comment that £15 extra just for wireless is a lot these days. Ofc, if you missed out on yesterday's deal, then this is quite good.

Most routers don't support USB printers and many routers from my experience are located in places that are far from ideal in terms of locating a printer. So it's more flexible and convenient to buy a printer with WiFi or at least ethernet so you could use Home Plugs. You aren't paying £15 for WiFi as yesterday's deal is history and irrelevant if you know you actually want a WiFi laser printer. You are paying £40 for a WiFi laser printer which is at the low end.
Thanks. Finally went for one of these. For the amount and frequency I print this makes a lot of sense. No more clogged inkjet nozzles!!

You can buy a Raspberry pi and make the non-wireless version wireless for £8. :face_with_monocle:

I can't find a PPD for it anywhere.

22 Aug 17#15
Look on openprinting, all these models are the same so you can use the ML series for the PPD file.

Got my non-wireless version this morning. Does anyone have linkys to compatible toners - people keep commenting they can be purchased cheaply from ebay but nobody posts links?
The reason I'm asking is because this review (for the non-wireless version) concerned me: amazon.co.uk/gp/…K3K
This review is from: Samsung SL-M2026 A4 Mono Laser Printer (Accessory)
Works well, but does not play well with off
brand toner. My Brother brand laser printer works perfectly with cheap
toner replacements, while the only toner I have gotten to work with this
printer is the one from samsung.

I've got one of these. It was a bit fiddly to get the wireless printing set up. If you try and print more than about 20 sheets at once, the printouts end up on the floor. However, there are cheap compatible toner cartridges and it works by USB, Wifi, Airprint and Chromebooks

All the comments requesting links for toner on eBay? Seriously.... type 'M2026W Toner' into the search bar... Within the 1st page you can see toner for 1 for £10.66 or twin pack £20.99 just

what's this ebay you're talking about? can I have a bing link to ebay? my google isn't working since the storm...
There are many other sellers on eBay, I just picked these because they came towards top of listings when searched.

These toners may be for sale, but do any of them actually work - that was the point of my comment? (Re my earlier quote from an Amazon reviewer, who said they couldn't use their compatible, and had to resort to buying a Samsung toner).

I've read the drum needs replacing on those? if that's true then depending on how much printing someone does it will cost more to print?
