MacMall has the Samsung ML-2165W Monochrome Wireless Laser Printer for $50 with free shipping. Features up to 21 ppm, 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution, 150 sheet capacity, and one-touch wireless setup with WPS.
I bought one about 4 weeks ago. Works great. Took advice of another person on NewEgg and set to channel 3, wireless did not work on channel 6. Good print, fast enough, great price.
Bulk toner for DIY refills is $9 delivered on eBay, but you will need a reset chip or hacked firmware to use it. They are out there but harder to find than for some printers.
^^ Better to do it the other way. Seek models that fulfill your feature requirements and/or have a nice sale price then check ebay for *model name* and "toner" for DIY bulk toner or "cartridge" for 3rd party carts.
Brother is one brand less likely to use microchips or need hacked firmware in order to use the DIY refills or 3rd party carts. Some of the lower end Samsungs don't but Samsung seems to be putting either chips or reset fuses in more new models these days.
If you normally print from a laptop, wireless are the way to go.
Maybe or maybe not. All else being equal wireless printers use more power in standby/sleep mode, while one with an ethernet jack can be plugged into your wifi capable router for laptop access.
Super over priced toner. No 3rd party toner available~ The toner is more expensive than the printer itself.

Sounds good, I wanna try. Thanks OP
A quick search shows that while there may be refill options, OEM cartridges are almost the same cost as getting a genuine Samsung at this point.

What other laser printer do you guys recommend with cheap toner replacement?

^^ Ethernet supported printer is actually a better option.
