I am thinking of getting Samsung CLP-500 laser printer. Are there any

It obviously depends on people's usage, with a purchase price now of
around £200 if you arent a heavy user it certainly seems worth
considering, especially bearing in mind it has duplex as well (or is
that a 550 version?)

You don't need to replace the waste toner cartridge, just empty it and
replace it when the printer warns you that it is full.
