(roughly £85)
If you're after a replacement for the much-celebrated HP Laserjet P1102W, we've got the machine for you. This Pantum laser printer is among the cheapest on the market, but offers features usually reserved for much more expensive kit.View Deal
The HP P1102W was launched at the beginning of the last decade and remains, to this day, one of the most sought after HP printers ever. This LaserJet model was one of the first entry-level printers to incorporate wireless connectivity and was also one of the smallest laser printers at launch.
If your P1102W has given up the ghost or the cost of replacing its consumables is proving to be far too high, then consider giving the Pantum P3302DW a chance.
At $109.99 (roughly £85) from Amazon, this is a highly affordable machine and, while Pantum is not exactly a household name, the company has been around for nearly a decade (our sister publication reviewed its first printer, the P2000, in 2012).
The P3302DW also comes with a host of features not usually found in printers at this price point. It boasts a print speed of up to 35 pages per minute, auto-duplex printing, NFC touch-to-print, an LCD control panel, large paper tray, plus mobile device printing via a dedicated Pantum app.
The drum and toner cartridges are separate, which is good for your pocket, but not for the environment. The starter toner cartridge offers print capacity of 1,500 pages, while a straight slot-in replacement costs $43.99, which makes the 6,000-page extra high capacity toner cartridge ($99.99) a much better deal (that’s less than 1.7c per page).
Note, the printer is larger than the LaserJet Pro M15W and the likes, and doesn’t offer any compatible toner cartridges.

Read MoreIf you've recently moved to Windows 11 from Windows 10, you'll have no doubt noticed that one of the most visible changes is in the taskbar. Yes, there is the repositioned Start button and the centered shortcuts, but look to the right-hand side of the taskbar, and you'll notice all manner of other alterations. The company has been pushing its own Microsoft Teams app to try and encourage users away from the likes of Slack and Zoom, and has now added a shortcut to its collaboration platform tool to the taskbar. While you may resent giving up space to the icon if you're not a user of the app, there are more reasons to hide the icon than simply saving space in your taskbar. You might be surprised to learn that so long as the Microsoft Teams icon is housed in the Windows 11 taskbar, it is firing up processes in the background. These Microsoft Edge WebView2 processes are associated with the browser rendering engine, and they use up system resources that could be put to better use. The same is true of the Widgets icon that sits in the taskbar but, as developer Michael Niehaus points out, there is key difference between the two icons. While Widgets only launches processes when the icon is clicked, the mere presence of the Teams icon is enough to use up many megabytes of RAM. If you're not using Teams, you might want to consider simply uninstalling the app. But to avoid the problem of having to reinstall it should you find you need it further down the line, there is an alternative – just hide the icon. This simple act is enough to prevent Teams from gobbling up resources in the background. If you try right-clicking the Teams icon to delete it, you'll notice that no context menu appears. To remove the icon you will instead have to head to Windows 11's Settings app and go to Personalization > Taskbar, before moving the 'Chats' toggle to the 'Off' position.
