Do laser printers clog up like inkjets?

[bgc99]

I don't print alot and wondered if I would be better off with a laser printer?

Laser printers are best when you need to print large amounts of text often.

I've never run into one that has clogged up.

We have to clean them every once in a while because toner can build up and get on the paper eventually.

What exactly do you mean by not very often exactly?

Here's a link that should give you some info.

Sometimes the toner will cake a bit - particularly in humid environments. So you may need to shake the toner cart to loosen up the toner just like you do when installing a replacement. Just be sure to cover all openings in your cart or you'll have toner all over everything. But I'd still get an inkjet if you don't print a lot. The Canon iP4300 is hard to beat now that there are clone ink tanks for it. If you at least run a test print a few times a week, you shouldn't have much of a problem with clogging.

I have two and they are seldom used. Never experienced a clog.

Simple answer to the question is "No!"

I have a Samsung ML 1610 Laser printer and if I dont print for about 3 weeks then it will print in streaks till I remove the Toner cartrige and shake it. After I remove the Toner cartridge it is quite difficult to re-insert it again

That sounds like a Samsung problem. LaserJet carts go in and out easily all the time. A gentle rocking motion is suggested after a long layoff - but - caking or clumping toner is not the same as clogging. Also, top quality toner does not usually cake.
