Laser B1163W
The Dell B1163W is the wireless personal monochrome laser: compact enough for a home desk, with Wi-Fi that lets laptops and phones print without cables, aimed at students, home offices and light personal use. A personal printer should cost almost nothing to run, and this one feeds on a single standard cartridge, the 331-7335, listed below on its own, in multi-packs, and under the B1163W model name.
Personal printers live a stop-start life: a boarding pass today, a school assignment next week, a form at the end of the month. Toner suits that rhythm — it does not dry out between jobs the way ink can — and the buying question is simply how much of it to keep in the drawer.

Which cartridge should you buy?
For genuinely light use, buy the single 331-7335. A personal printer working through occasional documents takes a long time to empty one cartridge, and there is no prize for stockpiling. Households that print homework, tickets and paperwork every week will get better value from the 3-pack or the B1163W 5-pack, which bring the per-cartridge cost down and end reorder errands for a year or more. The premium-quality 5-pack is there for buyers who prefer the closest-to-OEM build. All compatible cartridges on this page include a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The B1163W recognizes its cartridge through the chip on installation, and the driver reports the level before it becomes a problem. If pages start to look light after months of service, rock the cartridge gently side to side to redistribute the toner — on a lightly used machine that trick can stretch a cartridge considerably. Store any spare sealed in a drawer, away from heat; toner keeps far better than ink, but quoted yields still assume about 5% page coverage, so photo-heavy documents count for more than plain text.
