Which is the best value for money laser printer?

I too have been looking for a laser printer for the school printing needs. The one I have shortlisted after a lot of research is Samsung ML-2161. It is a basic black & white laser printer with minimal functions but it does what it says. I went through hundreds of user reviews and the general feedback is very good.

Here are some of the Monochrome Laser Printer options worth taking a look at.

Samsung Laser-2166 Monochrome WiFi Laser: This printer has specification similar to ML 2161. However it supports Wifi. You can also use Samsung Mobile print app for the prints. Password protect printing is also possible with this model. It is priced at 5585 Rs.

Canon LBP 2900B Monochrome Laser Printer: A good monochrome printer for school and office needs. Refills are cheap. The cartridges are same as HP 1120. Easy to maintain. The printer is priced at 7,423 Rs.
