Toby is right saying they make money from the toners. I would look at comparisons before buying and check the dpi for the machine your interested in. You also need to decide what you want to print as well because some laser printers cannot do glossy photos or double sided printing for example.
my advice would be to go to a store with a page of text and a picture and ask them to print off a copy of each on the printers your interested in so you can do a real comparison before buying. That way you can judge for yourself the print quality and the time it takes to print. After that i would order the printer you want from the best source costwise and check if they include additional toners at a reduced rate if your buying them at the same time.
