Cheers all.
JonT - I know it's a laser printer and you can refill laser toner cartridges as I've done it myself with a Samsung laser printer I have. I was wondering about the cartridges possibly being chipped or being designed to make filling difficult/impossible.
Matthew - that's just an old link from last year to show the model/spec - As I said, I can get that printer for £99.00
BW41101 - They are in stock locally @ £99 and come with a full set of 4 limited life cartridges as appears to be the norm sadly these days. Hence my questions about refilling or compatibles. Presumably I can get HP originals for this machine virtually anywhere so I don't need to worry about Aldi supplying them at any time. Of course HP and other manufacturers use the huge margin on toner cartridges to subsidise the retail cost of their printers so I was just wondering if there might be alternative options for running this machine more cheaply.

Just found this kit (which seems to come with new chips) so it looks like refilling is possible if possibly dirty and hazardous....

These appear to be the real deal @ £160 for the full set - phew!
